Review:
"A map romp....Waterfield's send-up of high art and high society is one of the best academic satires to hit these shores since David Lodge's SMALL WORLD....Hilarious, deft, and quick...."

Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 216 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In this brilliantly witty satire -- a bestseller in the UK -- a prestigious British museum launches an ambitious new exhibit.which quickly becomes a seasonal nightmare.Think that a day in the life of a London museum director is cold, quiet, and austere? Think again. Giles Waterfield brings a combination of intellectual comedy and knockabout farce to the subject in this story of one long day in a museum full of scandals, screw-ups?and more than a few scalawags.At the beginning of The Hound in the Left-hand Corner, Auberon, the brilliant but troubled director of the Museum of British History, is preparing one midsummer's day for the opening of the most spectacular exhibition his museum has ever staged. The centerpiece is a painting of the intriguing Lady St. John strikingly attired as Puck, which hasn't been shown in London in a hundred years. As the day passes, the portrait arouses disquieting questions, jealousies, rivalries -- and more than a few strange affections -- in the minds of the museum staff. As guests and employees pour in, the tension rises -- and Auberon himself has the hilariously ridiculous task of keeping the peace, without losing his own sense of reality as well.For everyone who loves the farce of David Lodge and Michael Frayn, or even the Antiques Roadshow, the fast-paced, hilarious satire of The Hound in the Left-hand Corner is sure to delight and entertain.
