  • ""A successful sitcom writer with plenty of money, a stable marraige, a platonic mistress and a flash car, Laurence 'Tubby' Passmore has more reason than most to be happy. Yet neither physiotherapy nor aromatherapy, cognitive-behaviour therapy or acupuncture can cure his puzzling knee pain or his equally inexplicable mid-life angst. As Tubby's life fragments under the weight of his self-obsession, he embarks - via Kierkegaard, strange beds from Rummidge to Tenerife to Beverly Hills, a fit of literary integrity and memories of his 1950s South London boyhood - on a picaresque quest for his lost contentment." --Contratapa."
  • "To all appearences, Laurence "Tubby" Passmore is sitting pretty. The TV sitcom he writes is a huge success, he has a beautiful house at a prestigious address, a state-of-the-art car, a beautiful wife of thirty years, and a platonic mistress to talk shop with. A deep, nameless unease and his quest for the source of it will lead him into an obsession which threatens to unravel his ordered life."
