| Synopsis: |
A very funny and perceptive novel on the misunderstandings which can occur between two countries speaking the same language. Meet Arthur Noone, a Welsh college lecturer on sabbatical at South Misssouri State. Noone is feckless, adrift, divorced, an uninspired researcher into Verb Phrase Usage in the American Midwest. During a fruitless wait for a new woman friend, he unwittingly witnesses a gangland murder in which the hoods get the wrong man. As the truth slowly dawns on innocent Arthur, and with both police and the gang on his trail, he turns detective to save himself from jail and/or the morgue. Rees gives his plot more wordplay, mistaken identity, and near misses than a Shakespeare comedy as the hapless Noone is drawn towards his fate. The tension increases as a series of linguistic accidents threaten to engulf the hapless Arthur. |
