Kingsley Amis's most ambitious reckoning with his central
theme--the degradation of modern life--"Take a Girl Like You" also
introduces one of the rare unqualified good guys in Amis's
rogue-ridden world: Jenny Bunn, a girl from the North English
country has come south to teach school in a small smug town where
she hopes to find love and fortune. Jenny is independent, likable,
optimistic, openhearted, intelligent, and exceedingly good-looking,
but the men who flock around her are all too willing to overlook
her virtues in the hopes of getting her in the sack. But then
Jenny, though no prude, is set on remaining a virgin until
marriage.
Jenny's fundamental, unshakeable decency and her determination to
live life on her own terms--though she is surrounded with a host of
brilliantly rendered schemers and fools, male and female, but
chiefly male--are in the forefront of Amis's novel.
