For John Lewis, the situation is complicated by the attentions of daunting and desirable village socialite, Elizabeth Gruffyd-Williams, who is married to a member of the local Council. Pursuing an affair with her whilst keeping his job prospects alive is John's predicament, as he finds himself running down Welsh country lanes at midnight in a wig and dress, resisting the advances of local drunks and suffering the long speeches of a 'nut-faced' clergyman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times tenderly satirical and at times riotously slap-stick, Amis sends up an array of rural stereotypes in this story about a man who doesn't know what he wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKingsley Amis's (1922-95) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of World War II.
