Description

Paul Kelver’s later struggles with work, love, and hard-won self-knowledge push past childhood into the costs of ambition and adult choice. Memory deepens as humour meets disappointment and hope. Spoken as when Paul Kelver’s second volume still asks what a man keeps of the boy once the world has finished testing him.

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.
