This is a Brechtian book in which a small-time heel, Joey (Christopher Chadman), with his naive boasts and shameless buttering-up, is letched onto by a rich, man-eating tigress named Vera (Joan Copeland), who loves him enough to stake him to a night club, but who coolly leaves him before he can leave...
