The title of this novel by Robert Keable is a reference to Simon Peter the apostle and first Pope of the Catholic Church. The book was controversial at its introduction due to its sexual and religious content; it was made into a play by Jules Eckert Goodman and Edward Knoblock and had a short run in Chicago. The novel was followed by a sequel, Recompense, published in 1924 and made into a 1925 motion picture with the same title, directed by Harry Beaumont. This book is alluded to in The Great Gatsby. Nick Carraway, the narrator, reads a chapter and claims that "either it was terrible stuff or the whisky distorted things, because it didn't make any sense to me."
