Product Description

Synopsis

Young drama professor Theo Ryan's life is turned upside down when he meets Joshua "Ford" Rexford - America's most acclaimed playwright and the most impossible and most talented man he's ever encountered. Because of Ford's influence, a journey begins that encompasses quirky scholars, bickering university faculty, the Renaissance giant Sir Walter Raleigh and, of course, ingenious plays.

4.0 out of 5 stars Playful, 5 Nov 2008
By Graham R. Hill "gralhill" (Ilkley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The first half of the book is a campus novel set in the Southern US that Malone knows well and has written about elsehwere. It's much more David Lodge than Malcolm Bradbury - although the leather-jacketed man-of-the-people 'Erbie Crawford bears more than a passing resemblance to a nicer version of Howard Kirk. The second half is a 'caper' mainly set in an English countryside that Malone doesn't know well; primarily because it has never existed; a fact which I would give the author credit for being aware of. One of the themes of the novel is the tendency of academics to live in the world of their books rather than real world and overt references to both Winnie the Pooh and Wind in the Willows throughout the novel are, I think, a hint of Malone's preference to use a fantasy setting with which readers may be familiar rather than a real one with which they are not.

Despite being English I am in no better position to judge whether the set piece description of the Leander Club enclosure at Henley is at all accurate than I am regarding that of the Russian Tea Room in New York. They are however, both very entertaining as are a stream of minor characters.

So, all in all, the book is a lot of fun. But if you're not from the UK don't plan a visit expecting to find what's described here.
