A Literary Fiction Novel

Publisher Description

With film rights acquired by Francis Ford Coppola, this comic novel of instant riches is back in stock.

From the author of A Clockwork Orange, One Hand Clapping is a comedy of game shows and greed, high stakes and the high life.

The tragi-comedy of used car salesman Howard Shirley, his photographic brain, and the modern world's trivia and trivialities makes for vintage Burgess—at once hilarious and provocative.
