5.0
Like a working-class 1960s Evelyn Waugh,but funnier, more inventive and more acerbic. Albert Argyle (ne Harris) and the story of his adult life as a salesman is a thing of brillinalty twisted wonder, dead-on characterisation and frequently macabre, but never ludicrous, black humour.
Best bits - Albert's girlfriend who lives in his car and comes to think of it as home. Sounds daft, but the gradual steps up in her delusion are so well done that at times it even seems sensible :)
