A novel about an objectionably rich fraud and his continual deceptions. Very timely! His wife seems a bit too idealised. Which is quite ironic. (Too idealised in a different way to Bevell’s creation.
Ultimately it’s an indictment of laissez faire capitalism, if you still need one, and the kind of limited philistine who benefits from and manipulates it.
