Aldo Cassidy is an entrepreneurial genius. At thirty-nine, he dominates the baby pram market and rewards his success with a custom Bentley. But Aldo s bourgeois life is upended by a chance encounter with Shamus a charismatic writer whose first and only novel blazoned across the firmament twenty years earlier. The two develop a passionate friendship that draws Aldo smitten also with his new friend s luscious wife into a life of reckless hedonism that threatens to consume them all.
John le Carre s "The Naive and Sentimental Lover" offers a dark and ribald send-up of both middle-class bohemian pretensions that will astonish and delight his many fans.
