First published in 1964, Yarborough is the striking sophomore novel of B. H. Friedman—later the acclaimed biographer of Jackson Pollock (Energy Made Visible, 1972)—and a vivid portrait of ambition, masculinity, and power in mid-century America.

"Friedman has written a thoroughly amoral, devilish, subversive and downright un-American novel. It's very entertaining."
— Minneapolis Tribune, December 20, 1964

"One cannot say enough in praise of its intelligence, ingenuity, virtuosity . . . nor can one attack its sincerity, the cool authenticity of its half-comic, half-serious approach."
— The San Francisco Examiner, December 13, 1964

"Friedman writes well, but his material may not appeal to a wide audience. It's hip."
— Rapid City Journal, November 15, 1964

"[A] remarkable first novel."
— Chicago Tribune, December 27, 1964
