Speaking of this 1957 novel, the author has said it ended his obsession with the reconstruction of the immediate past and moved him into the contemporary scene. The narrator, Earl Horter, is a lyric writer who is in Hollywood with Mac, his partner, to write a musical. With two girls they have picked up and gone to Acapulco.

Review
"It can be debated whether in the novel--which is, by the way, highly readable, with some quite funny scenes--Mr. Morris has produced a parable of force and quality or just taken a rest from serious writing; but either way Love Among the Cannibals should have considerable interest for those who have so far constituted his audience, and a stronger appeal for those to whom he is an unfamiliar writer."--"Saturday Review"

This review is from: Love Among the Cannibals (Paperback)
Wright Morris was one of our greatest novelists. I fear that since his death he has slipped a little from public memory. This is one of his very best novels.
