Description

The idol of Kingsley Amis's humor is Stanley Duke. Appealing, affluent and happily remarried, Stanley brings a lifestyle that's absolutely alluring--that's, till it becomes obvious that his teen-age daughter, Steve, is certainly going crazy. It is not that David abruptly rips up a replica of Bellow's HERZOG, or cranks his music to ear-shattering levels,that's typical. It is his quest by cosmic forces that worries his dad.
