Doomed to a mediocre existence, Terry suddenly finds his fortunes reversed with Gregory Riding, the rich and powerful foster brother he hates
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
cess Amis pens a mismatched pair of foster brothers--one "a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude," the other a "bundle of contempt, vanity and stock-response"--in a single London flat. He binds them with ties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy that soars with malicious poetry.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
