Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

In his clever second novel, the author of The Liar introduces readers to Ted Wallace: failed poet, failed theater critic, failed father and husband, shameless womanizer, and self-confessed alcoholic. When Ted invites himself to the country estate of his beautiful and mysterious godson under the pretense of writing a family history, the result is "a deliciously wicked and amusing little fable" (New York Times).


Review:

"...while Mr. Fry takes Eliot's theme and gives it a clever spin, his voice is decidedly his own: slangy, frantic and enthusiastically ribald, closer in spirit and style to Monty Python than anything Eliot ever dreamed of."

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
