The author's first novel, published when he was twenty-four, and set in Oxford, where it was written while Winter was an undergraduate there. Before university, Winter had had a brief career as a prep school teacher -- a career which closed to him on publication of this gay-themed novel. As a result he turned instead to the stage, and later became a screenwriter in Hollywood. In 1948 he co-wrote the script for The Red Shoes with the film's producer, Emeric Pressburger.
