Description
A humorous and entertaining collection of stories set in a British pub. Poet's Pub is a charming series of vignettes by Eric Linklater, featuring an eclectic cast of characters who frequent the Pelican Pub in Downish, England. When Oxford poet Saturday Keith takes control of the pub, he hopes to find peace and freedom to write without distraction. Instead, the local watering hole becomes a magnet for eccentric individuals, from rough-around-the-edges rogues to academics. As Keith navigates this chaotic scene, he must confront his own desires and the unpredictable nature of those around him. This Penguin Classics edition offers an authoritative text with introduction and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of Linklater's work.
