In una Gran Bretagna sempre divisa, questo romanzo ironicamente osservato è una lettura tempestiva e stimolante dell'autore vincitore del Booker Award di The Finkler Question. "Un romanzo molto divertente e amaramente intelligente. Leggetelo" Malcolm Bradbury Sefton Goldberg: trent'anni, insegnante di inglese alla Wrottesley Poly nelle West Midlands; piccolo, sudato, lussurioso, provocatoriamente poco riconoscente per la birra, la natura e i giochi organizzati; tormentosamente consapevole di essere un ebreo urbano isolato in un mare di anglosassoni amanti della campagna. Ossessionato dal fallimento - morbosamente, nel suo caso, gongolante, in quello dei suoi contemporanei - tanto che progetta di scrivere un best-seller sull'argomento. Nel frattempo, è spiacevolmente consapevole dell'avanzare degli anni e dell'atrofizzazione dei risultati, e nessuna quantità di nobile razionalizzazione può mascherare il trionfo di amici e colleghi, non solo dei tempi di Cambridge, ma persino all'interno delle disprezzate mura del Poly stesso, o addolcire l'amara pillola del successo altrui.
