Brimming with gluttony, booze and lust, Roger Micheldene is loose
in America. Supposedly visiting Budweiser University to make deals
for his publishing firm in England, Roger instead sets out to
offend all he meets and to seduce every woman he encounters. But
his American hosts seem made of sterner stuff. Who will be Roger's
undoing? Irving Macher, the young author of an annoyingly brilliant
first novel? Father Colgate, the priest who suggests that Roger's
soul is in torment? Or will it be his married ex-lover Helene? One
thing is certain - Roger is heading for a terrible fall.
Outrageously funny and irreverent, One Fat Englishman (1963) is a
devastating satire on Anglo-American relations.
