The story follows Nick Jenkins as he attends a literary conference in Venice, while his friend Widmerpool navigates the complexities of power and reputation. As Widmerpool's position is threatened by whispered accusations of espionage, his wife Pamela finds herself at the centre of attention due to her connection to the late writer X. Trapnel.

This reissued edition of Temporary Kings offers a fresh perspective on Powell's unique brand of literary insight, allowing readers to experience the world of 1950s England through his characteristic lens.
