Product Description
About the Author
Excerpted from Talking About It by Tim Parks. Copyright © 2005. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
However, with both these career executives fast approaching the day when people would refer to them as middle aged, both constantly alerted by their wives to incipient weight problems, they had rather reluctantly been persuaded to kill the rush hour together one evening a week with a game of squash in a nearby club. Hence on this particular evening they met in The Mermaid for a swift half after work and then proceeded to walk through busy streets toward the club.
It was springtime and for all the fumes the air smelt fresh and promising. The narrow streets were full of women, many of them well-dressed, some attractive, jostling from office to tube. Michael, despite all the springs that had come and gone, all the endless days he had elbowed to and from one place of work or another, was extremely susceptible to such stimuli. What’s more he was presently going through a profound emotional crisis. So that as they walked into the club and found their way to the changing room, he couldn’t help attempting another assault on George’s reserve; and so enquired: ‘Just between ourselves, you know old mate, what do you think about, well, I suppose you’d say platonic relationships? Are they, er, do you think they’re really possible?’
The more compact, squarer man turned and arched thick eyebrows. ‘We should manage,’ he said lightly, ‘if you can stop looking at my arse.’ --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
