The author's first novel, written between 1959-60 while Cohen was living in Hydra and London, and partly financed by a Canada Council grant of $2,000, the finished manuscript was rejected by his Canadian publisher and eventually published in the UK and then in the US (with an Americanised title) following some not insignificant edits (about which Cohen wrote "anyone with an ear will know I've torn apart orchestras to arrive at my straight, melodic line").
