Description

It is the unforgettable, often comical portrait of a dreamer, one William Corker, the genteel proprietor of a London employment agency, who, in his sixty-third year, has just moved out of the house he shared with his overbearing sister. As Corker takes his first steps into a life of the passions, Berger creates a character of astonishing depth and liveliness- a man whose fantasies and ambitions are at once splendid and tragic.
