An accidental man ([New ed.])

Part of the Vintage classics series
See all formats and editions

This is the story of the comic and yet relentless struggle for survival of Austin Gibson Grey, the accidental man.

Austin is one of those people who needs to survive through the destruction of others.

The others, in Austin's case, include his successful elder brothers, Matthew, and the women who, one after the other, are so touchingly convinced that they can 'save' him.

In this latter role, we meet Austin's estranged wife, Dorina, a crazed angel, and Austin's far from angelic alcoholic landlady, Mtizi.

Other women interest themselves too in Austin's fate, with hilarious and appalling results.
