Published in 1950, his first novel was acclaimed by Gore Vidal as `Splendidly written, precise, short, complete and fine.`

It is the story of a wealthy, fiftyish American widow, recently a famous stage beauty, but now `drifting.` The novel opens soon after her husband`s death and her retirement from the theatre, as Mrs. Stone tries to adjust to her aimless new life in Rome. She is adjusting, too, to aging (`The knowledge that her beauty was lost had come upon her recently and it was still occasionally forgotten.`)

With poignant wit and his own particular brand of relish, Williams charts her drift into an affair with a cruel young gigolo: `As compelling, as fascinating, and as technically skilled as his plays.`
