Product Description
Product Description
Hodge - a countryman, a rustic, a generic nobody, what Dr Johnson called his cat. Arthur Miller's salesman, Willie Loman, is Hodge on the road: 'His name was never in the paper... But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.' For the TLS, Oliver Reynolds's previous book, 'Almost', was 'as good a volume as any of the 1990s'. In 'Hodge', he finds a dry-eyed pathos in life on the periphery: the little people, the hands, the staff and the staffage. Attention is paid. Here are the pyramid-builders, a Cardiff swimming-pool attendant, the ushers of the Royal Opera House and a caretaker who speaks for them all (even, perhaps, for the reader): 'We have lives of our own, but not just yet.'
