✦ Synopsis

In this hilarious, outrageous and wickedly funny story of Jake and his lost libido, Kingsley Amis does not pull any punches, but takes some well-aimed swipes at the crankier fringes of psychotherapy and at sex--1970s style. "Vintage Amis...he has probably given as much pleasure as any novelist of his generation." (Scotsman)From the Publisher7 1.5-hour cassettes About the AuthorKingsley Amis was born in south London in 1922 and was educated at the City of London School and St John's College, Oxford.
