Description

Sensitive Paul Kelver grows through childhood struggles, friendships, ambition, and first love while searching for identity and purpose under class and convention. Humour and memory shape a usable listening coming-of-age. Spoken as when Paul Kelver still asks what a young man becomes when the world measures him before he knows himself.

Author

Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) made English humour sound like a friend talking — ironic, lazy, and suddenly exact about human folly. Three Men in a Boat is his masterpiece: a mock-epic of river travel in which packing, weather, and wounded dignity become high adventure. Before and after it he wrote essays and sequels that celebrate idleness as a mild philosophy — Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow chief among them.
