| Description: |
B.S. Johnson's funniest and most accessible novel, reissued for the first time in 25 years with a foreword by John Lanchester. |
| Synopsis: |
Christie Malry is a simple person. Born into a family without money, he realised early along in the game that the best way to come by money was to place himself next to it. So he took a job as a very junior bank clerk in a very stuffy bank. It was at the bank that Christie discovered the principles of double-entry book keeping, from which he evolved his Great Idea. For every offence Christy henceforth received at the hands of a society with which he was clearly out of step, a debit must be noted; after which, society would have to be paid back appropriately, so that the paper credit would accrue to Christy's account. Now made into a film starring Nick Moran of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels fame. Acerbic yet funny, this is a novel which, even as it provokes laughter, will alarm and disturb as well. 'A most gifted writer' - Samuel Beckett. 'The future of the novel depends on people like B.S. Johnson' - Anthony Burgess. 'Mr. Johnson has undoubtedly written a masterpiece.' - Auberon Waugh. 'Delightful to read, highly amusing, and clever.' - "Daily Telegraph." |
