Description
Gentleman Jim is a story about a man who feels trapped in his life as a lavatory attendant. He spends his time daydreaming about a world beyond his current role, inspired by the books on his walls. Encouraged by his wife, he sets out to make his dreams a reality, but discovers that the life of an executive, artist, or cowboy is not as simple as he imagined. As he accumulates various accoutrements, Jim's aspirations become more complicated and costly. His wife's enthusiasm for adventure also plays a part in his journey. This book is the first in an occasional series, Cape Graphic Classics, and has been unavailable for many years. First published in 1980, Gentleman Jim is a humorous tale about the challenges of pursuing one's passions.
