A successful sitcom writer with plenty of money, a stable marraige,
a platonic mistress and a flash car, Laurence 'Tubby' Passmore has
more reason than most to be happy. Yet neither physiotherapy nor
aromatherapy, cognitive-behaviour therapy or acupuncture can cure
his puzzling knee pain or his equally inexplicable mid-life angst.
As Tubby's life fragments under the weight of his self-obsession,
he embarks - via Kierkegaard, strange beds from Rummidge to
Tenerife to Beverly Hills, a fit of literary integrity and memories
of his 1950s South London boyhood - on a picaresque quest for his
lost contentment.
