James Jones

Excellent book. Story about a playwrite who becomes obsessed with deep sea diving and the bond he forges with diving instructor at the expense of his wife and friends. His wife is a former call girl who wants to make herself a better life as she tries to change him from wild playboy to respectable husband. The guilt of a past relationship with another female character in the book haunts him. I couldnt put the book down as with all the James Jones books I have read. Not as good as From here to eternity but well worth the read. I would put James Jones as the class of Post WWII American authors.
