By the time Morning Noon and Night was published, in 1968, those who embraced radical ideology were seen by some as having reached the zenith of cool. Cozzens and his books certainty did not exude coolness, if we are to believe his critics, the denizens of social mayhem and revolution. Cozzens was savagely attacked by ill-willed, partisan critics. He was crucified as an Eisenhower-era traditionalist writer by politically-charged and lazy critics who cared little to actually read his books.
Henry Worthington, the protagonist, is the founder of a consulting firm. He narrates how he came to be the man that he is, what understanding he extracted from human reality as a young boy, his experiences with other people as an adult, and just what it means to live and die. -- by Pedro Blas Gonzalez

The distinguised author of By Love Possessed tells the powerful story of a man of our time--his life, his loves, this search for himself... Who am I? The bold yet shy adolescent on the beach being led on in his lust by a fashionable woman with a score to settle? The failed intellectual and would-be writer working for a pittance in a rathole of a Boston office? The sexual athlete whose prime aim in life seems to be adding to the notches on his bedpost? The husband cuckolded by the wife he can`t stop lovint? The great and powerful man of business? These are the questions Henry Worthington asks himself as he explores the life he has lived, the loves he has found--and sometimes lost. His quest for himself becomes, in a sense, the sstory of the Everyman of our time.
