...told, Chrysler will funnel some $56 million into Rootes, which produces Humber, Hillman, Sunbeam and Singer automobiles and three lines of trucks. Half will be in the form of an outright loan; the rest will come from the purchase of additional shares, which will push Chrysler's total stock investment in Rootes to $93 million. To damp the fiery protests in Parliament, most of which came from the Labor backbenchers, the complex refinancing arrangements will also call for Britain, through the state-run Industrial Reorganization Corp., to hold about 13% of Rootes voting stock...

All this either occurs in or comments on the passive consciousness of Willy, the title character, who has been nudged over some brink by the death of a woman named Anita.

But Willy's reality rushes chaotically into his mind, scrambled and unpunctuated, hinting at a story line that never fully materializes. Hillman's attempted humor...
