Home Truths

Adrian Ludlow, a novelist with a distinguished reputation and a book on the A-level syllabus, is now seeking obscurity, with his wife Eleanor, in a cottage beneath the Gatwick flight path. Their old university friend Sam Sharp, now a successful screenwriter, drops in on the way to Los Angeles, fuming over a vicious profile of himself by Rottweiler interviewer Fanny Tarrant in a Sunday newspaper. Togheter the two men decide to take revenge on the journalist, though Adrian is riscking what he values most: his privacy.

David Lodge's delicious novella brilliantly examines our culture of celebrity and conflict between the solitary activity of writing and the demands of the media circus.
