Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

Paperback. Features Raymond Gunt, a decent chap who tries to do the right thing. Or, to put it another way, the worst person ever: a foul-mouthed, misanthropic cameraman, trailing creditors, ex-wives and unhappy homeless people in his wake. Men dislike him, women flee from him. This book is about a human being with absolutely no redeeming social value. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 138 x 22. Weight in Grams: 242.
