The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch

Every artist is an unhappy lover. And unhappy lovers want to tell their story. Ex-tax collector and author of two unpopular novels Bradley Pearson wishes to devote his retirement to writing a masterpiece. But the doorbell and the phone keep ringing, and every ring brings with it an ex-wife, a friend in need, a sister in trouble or a young woman seeking a teacher. And so, dusty, selfish Bradley is plunged into the muddles and mysteries that will end in his doom. `A source of wonder and delight'Spectator`Her humour is all the more achingly funny because she keeps it on the edge of our vision'Daily MailWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SOPHIE HANNAH
