But if he can do nothing about his job, perhaps he can do something about his wife. As each day passes, his fantasies grow more murderous and more real . . . Tom Sharpe's wildly funny classic is a brilliantly outrageous tale of frustration, farce and misunderstanding, and one of the greatest comic novels of the twentieth century.
