g
A cold caller interrupts Harry in the act of hanging himself and persuades him to give the wreck of his disillusioned life another chance. This is not a slushy piece of shallow, feel-good fluff, however. The cold caller’s advice – that the act of resistance matters more than anything it achieves – is ultimately as sober and realistic as Voltaire’s “Il faut cultiver son jardin”.
Christopher George's novel is wry and cynical, heart-warming and philosophical, and above all humorous.
