About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Just when Stanley Duke thinks it safe to sink into middle age, his son goes insane. As if that wasn't terrible enough, Stanley finds himself beset on all sides by women - neurotic, cantankerous, half-baked or just plain capricious. As one by one they gnaw away at his composure, Stanley wonders whether insanity is not something with which all women are intimately acquainted.

Funny...

... or not, hearing this on the day of the revelations abt the Nottingham killer's previous non-treatment; and there's a psychiatric or social work story lurking behind the Southport murders, but yet to come out. How different the mad-world Amis described 40 years ago. Otherwise I'd always thought it one of Amis's dourer books. This rendition brings out a lot of jokes however; and JS is as always v good on 'Amis's Women'. Dr Nash's teeth making him 'look like an unreliable dog' indeed!
