Official synopsis Publisher
Garnet Bowen is a literary gent from Wales, author of one obscure book, disconsolate husband, father and son-in-law. When he gets an offer that requires travel to Portugal, he figures it can’t be worse than London. But it is. “Kingsley Amis strikes again. Not only is he funny–and he is very funny, as anyone who has read LUCKY JIM knows–his very absurdities are profound.” (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
