Description
Keith Waterhouse’s 1959 novel provided a counterpoint to the Angry Young Man fiction doing the rounds in Britain at the time. But instead of working-class angst among the factory workers, Billy Liar amused himself with fantasies of being a great military leader, while working in an undertakers and maintaining three girlfriends, before plotting to leave Stradhoughton and find a fuller life in London – a place where a man can lose himself, according to one of his friends. This is the Penguin paperback in good condition.
