Christie Malry is a simple person. Born into a family without money, he realised early along in the game that best way to come by money was to place himself next to it. So he took a job as a junior bank clerk in a stuffy bank. It was at the bank that Christie discovered principles of double-entry book keeping, from which he evolved his Great Idea.
""B.S. Johnson's funniest and most accessible novel, reissued for the first time in 25 years with a foreword by John Lanchester Christie Malry is a simple person. Born into a family without money he realised early along in the game that the best way to come by money was to place himself next to it. So he took a job as a very junior bank clerk in a very stuffy bank. It was at the bank that Christie discocered the principles of double-entry bookkeeping, from which he evolved his Great Idea. For every offence Christy henceforth received at the hands of a society with which he was clearly out of step. a debit must be noted; after which, society would have to be paid back appropriately, so that the paper credit would accrue to Christy's account. Acerbic yet funny, this is a novel which, even as it provokes laughter, will alarm and disturb as well.""

"Dernier ouvrage publié du vivant de l'auteur, celui-ci met en scène un homme simple qui choisit de travailler dans une banque afin de se rapprocher de l'argent.
