...came out just eight months ago. The author's next book, too, will be about rich, middle-aged man under siege, a subject that McHale researched during several summers as a waiter in the Poconos.

Armed only with the script's Vance Packard sociology and minor motivation, he thrusts at the viewer an organization man without his bowler, his brolly-or his skin. Raised in the blackened sidestreets of Liverpool, Marler, the former Jesuit novice, has created a future by annihilating his past. But his past is overwhelming, an overpowering part of himself...
