Description
Roger Micheldene's American adventure is one of unapologetic excess. Brimming with gluttony, booze and lust, he sets out to offend and seduce his way across the continent. But as he navigates this unfamiliar landscape, it becomes clear that his hosts are not made of the same stuff as him. As Roger careens from one misadventure to the next, a cast of characters emerges who will either be his undoing or help him find redemption. With its outrageously funny and irreverent tone, One Fat Englishman is a devastating satire on Anglo-American relations. First published in 1963, this novel has been reissued with a new introduction by David Lodge, offering readers a fresh perspective on Amis's enduring critique of cultural differences.
