If this was written today, it would be considered a dark satire on the way jealousy, relationship hierarchies, non-monogamy, queerness and gender intersect. Except it was written in the 50s, so it's an elliptical tale of an uptight   man caught in a messy custody dispute with his lover's wife and family, over a dog. Pretty much everyone in this is an a**hole, and it's great.
