Meet more-or-less George
embittered by secret loss
maintain that stiff lip.
Trist, morsomt og ikke minst flott om det indre livet til han litt rare litteraturprofessoren din.
This classic book was a little slow paced in the beginning, but brilliant in its thoroughness. We are given every train of thought, tangent, feeling, and memory that George experiences, and this is truly a stunningly realistic and thought-provoking little story.
