One of Amis's best June 26, 2007
Harry feels responsible for a loose set of people some of whom he's related to, some distantly connected. But though he's a selfish bastard he can't help bailing them all out, possibly because he, well, likes them. There's something to like even in alcoholic Fiona, necking bottles of cheap sherry in a council flat, and the mysterious Piers, who's always dropping hints that he's gay, or maybe a spy, or is he just a criminal? Bunty really is gay, and worries that her aunt by marriage (a past marriage of Harry's) will disapprove. The two Asian shopkeepers practise their English on their customers (Mustn't grumble! All be the same in a thousand years!). And Harry does his best to protect his wimpy brother from his controlling wife. Somehow everybody manages to steer round some pretty fearsome obstacles by pulling strings and calling in favours and all end up together for a drink in the local, where naturally the landlord thinks he's a bit of a card. English life in the 80s is much like life in the 50s, or the noughties...
