'Mr Story weaves a wildly funny escapade' Sunday Times Horace
Spurgeon Fenton, fifty-something novelist and scriptwriter living
in Hampstead with a flatful of nurses, suddenly finds himself
entangled with Ariadne (the young daughter of a fading film star)
in a fast-paced comedy thriller set amidst the dying echoes of the
1960s. Jack Trevor Story (1917-1991)was a prolific, and profligate,
scriptwriter, novelist and journalist. Scripts for Danger Man,
Dixon and Budgie, films for Anna Neagle and Spike Milligan and a
still fondly remembered column for the Guardian scarcely do justice
to his output. Hitchcock's film The Trouble With Harry was his, as
was the prophetic Live Now Pay Later. Story's alter ego Horace
Spurgeon Fenton appears in three books including I Sit in Hanger
Lane and Hitler Needs You. But in One Last Mad Embrace Jack Trevor
Story is at the top of his considerable powers. Although
well-received at the time (1970), One Last Mad Embrace was out of
print for years, a rarity even secondhand. Jack Trevor Story was
married three times, divorced at least once and had eight children.
And bankrupt twice. 'A Proust of the working class.' Michael
Moorcock 'In the shambling talented Horace he creates at last a
rounded tangible figure' Sunday Times 'One of the funniest writers
we have ' Sunday Telegraph further information at
