Description

Who is Jack Warliss? And what is he doing with Annie, a hardheaded Communist; Lucy, a weird feminist poet from south London; and Nelly, a Yugoslav housewife, whose passion for cooking and eating is ruining her marriage? Jack Warliss does not know the answer to any of these questions; indeed, the hero of Nigel Williams's hilarious novel is chiefly remarkable for dodging problems, not solving them.
