A New York Times Notable Book, 2000. The second novel by the Whitbread award-winning author of The Debt to Pleasure (1996). A middle-aged accountant starts seeing the world with completely different spectacles once he is 'downsized' after fifteen years of loyal service to the firm. "An homage to the extraordinariness or ordinariness, to the weird goulash of desire, shame, embarrassment, fear and desperation that characterises most people's inner lives. Brilliantly achieved." –Guardian
