Roger Micheldene, the titular Fat Englishman, a libidinous book publisher abroad in America, is a strikingly loathsome creation, and the assortment of writers, students, intellectuals and linguists he encounters at various parties and functions in and around the campus of the fictional Budweiser college (standing in for Princeton, where Amis was a lecturer in the lates) – and their wives and girlfriends, most of whom he attempts (sometimes successfully) to bed – is little better. Kingsley Amis is the kind of writer who can give misogyny a bad name. Roger Micheldene, the One Fat Englishman of the title, is gluttonous, alcoholic and adulterous, but mostly just hateful and insufferably British. I winced a lot. What I did like though was how One Fat Englishman got its title. One thing is certain - Roger is heading for a terrible fall. Outrageously funny and irreverent, One Fat Englishman () is a devastating satire on Anglo-American relations. © Kingsley Amis (P) Penguin Audio Kingsley Amis - Author. Leighton Pugh - Narrator.
