Summary
This novel takes a satirical look at education in the UK. It is set in a nameless private school for boys and is largely narrated by the disaffected staff of the school, most of whom are heartily sick of their jobs and their lives. It does, however, also touch upon the sadder and more poignant aspects of their lives.
The climax of the novel is a staff meeting to launch yet another new initiative; this meeting is to be chaired by the hapless Malcolm Davies who quite rightly fears the reactions of such staff members as the foul-mouthed Gerry McMullen and the irascible and pedantic Mike Redfern.
