- McKay subtitles it a story without a plot, and he means it: you just drift around the Marseille waterfront with Banjo and his crew of beach boys, drinking, playing music, arguing about race and freedom. If you need momentum, skip it.
- Jake comes home from the war chasing one night's happiness through Harlem's cabarets and rent parties, and the whole book pulses like that: loose, sensual, alive. It's episodic rather than plotty, but his railroad talks with Ray, the brooding Haitian waiter, will stay with you.
