Something to Answer For by P.H. Newby

1.0

An irritating, frustrating novel. Even the scant pleasures of amusing lines and scenes are lost to muck and history, embedded in something outdated. But perhaps its aged nature isn't even the worst part. Some people with money thought this was the best non-American English novel published in 1969. That is was somehow important to literature. If this is how the booker-prize started I'm not sure how it went on.
