'One of the comic masterpieces' Daily Telegraph <BR>______________________________________<BR><BR>Henderson Dores is an Englishman in New York - and completely out of his depth.<BR><BR>He should be concentrating on his job as an art assessor, but his complicated personal life keeps intruding. And that's before we even get to his sense of alienation, of being a fish out of water.

For Henderson is a shy man lost in a country of extraverts and weirdos. Subway poets, loony millionaires, Bible-bashers and sharp-suited hoods stalk him wherever he goes. But it is only when he's sent to America's deep South to examine a rare collection of paintings that matters take a life-threatening turn. Still, if it doesn't kill you, they say it can only make you stronger . . .<BR>______________________________________<BR><BR><BR>'Boyd's humour, timed to a tee, always raps out the truth' Mail on Sunday<BR><BR>'Extremely funny.
