This series plunges into the dramatic and often satirical life of John Self, a man consumed by money and fleeting pleasures in post-war London. His existence is a relentless pursuit of wealth and sensory gratification, yet it leaves him increasingly estranged from genuine human connection. Despite his outward bravado, John grapples with an underlying emptiness and a profound sense of self-alienation. The narratives brilliantly capture the absurdities of contemporary existence and the futile quest for happiness in a materialist society.
