Phillips by Lanchester John (217 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mr. Phillips wakes on a summer's Monday morning in his modest, nearly mortgage-free house, ready to face another ordinary working day. Except this day is far from ordinary, for on the previous Friday, Mr. Phillips was summarily sacked. Unable to deal with this disaster--unable even to tell his own wife--Mr. Phillips rises at his usual hour and prepares himself for the job he no longer has. As he wanders the streets of London, what he sees triggers memories. Gradually a picture develops of a decent man who, only days before, knew exactly who and what he was--husband, home-owner, father, valued employee--and on this day wonders who and what he can become. Using the bits and pieces of one man's past, John Lanchester has drawn a fully dimensional life and, in the process, made in Mr. Phillips an Everyman for our times.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 291 pp. ex-library with usual markings; Mr. Phillips wakes on a summer's Monday morning in his modest, nearly mortgage-free house, in the bed he has contentedly shared with his wife of almost thirty years (though to be honest, at night he lies beside her and dreams of other women), ready to face another ordinary working day. Except that this day is not ordinary, for the previous Friday, Mr. Phillips was summarily sacked. Through no fault of his own, Mr. Phillips has suddenly found his whole life cast into doubt.
