Description

His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as a mausoleum. During the night, too, he d somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.

Jix Dixon has a terrible job at a second-rate university. His life is full of things he could happily do without: the tedious and ridiculous Professor Welch, a neurotic and unstable girlfriend, Margaret, burnt sheets, medieval recorder music and over-enthusiastic students. If he can just deliver a lecture on Merrie England , a moderately successful career surely awaits him. But without luck, life is never simple . . .

About the Author

Kingsley Amis s (1922-1995) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of the Second World War. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism and short stories. He received a knighthood in 1990.
