SIR KINGSLEY AMIS DIED ON OCTOBER 22, 1995. THIS WAS HIS LAST NOVEL. First Edition hardcover, published in London by Flamingo, a division of HarperCollins. A GOOD COLLECTOR'S BOOK. Dust cover with original first-issue art. The book is bound in black buckram with bright gold spine lettering. A HILARIOUS PLOT THAT ONLY AMIS COULD HAVE DEVISED. His unmistakable style of satire is coupled with the most peculiar characters, and ridiculous situations abound. This one's about a young biographer with a moustache (a feature despised by his older subject) and a strong instinct for womanizing... Will he be able to lose the moustache AND resist the charms of his subject's wife (who likes younger men) to get his advance from the publisher? IT WILL KEEP YOU IN STITCHES!
