With The Song Of The Flea (1948) Gerald Kersh revisited the
demi-monde of his famous Night And The City; but this novel
concerns a writer, striving doggedly to make his living. 'A
remarkable novel... with this book Mr Kersh has taken a big step
forward.' Sunday Times '[Kersh] has a remarkable talent... he is
one of the comparatively few living novelists in this country who
write with energy and originality and whose ideas are not drawn
from a residuum of novels that have been written before... [The
Song of the Flea] is the story of John Pym, a young man trying to
earn his living as a writer... Mr Kersh draws on his picturesque
and convincing knowledge of human vileness in a manner which is
both entertaining and instructive.' Times Literary Supplement.
