Beschrijving boek
Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Fame, success, fortune: a drink problem slipping over the border-line into alcoholism, a dead marriage, the incurable itches of middle-aged lust. For Wilfred Barclays, novelist, the final, unbearable irritation is Professor Rick L. Tucker, implacable in his determination to become The Barclay Man.
Locked in a lethal relationship they stumble half-blindly across Europe, shedding wives, self-respect, illusions. They confront terrifying abysses - physical, emotional, spiritual - continually change roles, change themselves, change the worlds about them. The climax, when it comes, is as inevitable as it is unexpected.
