Reviews
During the 1950s, after the publication of Lucky Jim, Kingsley Amis was known as one of The Angry Young Men. Some of the of the anger may be gone, but the wit is still there. This a funny, literate and satirical ghost story, although the ghost isn't the protagonist's main problem. That seems to be to find a way to get his wife, his girlfriend, and himself, in the same bed at the same time...
