The first collection of short stories from one of Britain's finest
novelists and critics A nameless man who has fallen out of love
with life, refuses to get out of bed, with unexpected consequences.
A sociologist recalls how he learned his first and formative lesson
about the oppressive power of capitalism selling newspapers and
magazines up and down the platforms of Waterloo station. Some years
before the era of the Pill and the Permissive Society, four
university friends travel to the Mediterranean for their first
holiday together, where the climate is sultry and sex is on
everyone's mind. And a strong-willed young woman defies adverse
circumstances to pursue the perfect wedding at all costs. These are
some of the characters that populate David Lodge's shrewd, funny
and delightfully entertaining short stories, collected here for the
very first time. What prompted their publication in this form is a
short story in itself, told by the author in his Foreword.
