More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Edwardian society, this novel blends social satire with elements of near-slapstick and a preoccupation with death. It critiques the era's social norms in a style reminiscent of P. G. Wodehouse's comedy and Evelyn Waugh's dark humor. Notably, its influence can be seen in Waugh's exploration of the funeral industry in "The Loved One." This edition includes a foreword by Benson scholar Michael D. Greaney, highlighting the work's significance and historical context.
