I had to look it up on wikipedia last week, so I could refresh my memory prior to heading into Forever Free, which is what I'm reading now. It seems fine, although it doesn't have the impact of FW, and doesn't so far feel like it needs to be a sequel to that book.
It was written in 1971 as part of the original novel (which was his thesis for his MFA). It was edited out when it was published in paperback and was later restored in the 90s.
