Summary

‘A great storyteller, although he was much more than a storyteller’ - Keith Waterhouse

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.
