Opis

With The Song Of The Flea (1948) Gerald Kersh revisited the "demi-monde" of his famous "Night And The City"; but this novel concerns a writer, striving doggedly to make his living.

'A remarkable novel... with this book Mr Kersh has taken a big step forward.' Sunday Times"

' Kersh] has a remarkable talent... he is one of the comparatively few living novelists in this country who write with energy and originality and whose ideas are not drawn from a residuum of novels that have been written before... The Song of the Flea"] is the story of John Pym, a young man trying to earn his living as a writer... Mr Kersh draws on his picturesque and convincing knowledge of human vileness in a manner which is both entertaining and instructive.' Times Literary Supplement."
