Description
WITH A FOREWORD BY DAVID LODGE When inspiration leads Theodore Gumbril to
design a type of pneumatic trouser to ease the discomfort of sedentary
life, he decides the time has come to give up teaching and seek his fortune
in the metropolis. He soon finds himself caught up in the hedonistic world
of his friends Mercaptan, Lypiatt and the thoroughly civilised Myra
Viveash, and his burning ambitions begin to lose their urgency… Wickedly
funny and deliciously barbed, the novel epitomises the glittering
neuroticism of the Twenties.
