Paperback. Etat : Fair. A Singular Man (1979) by J. P. Donleavy ? Penguin Books ISBN: 0140024476 Condition: Good George Smith is rich. Very rich. The sort of rich where money has ceased to be a practical concern and instead becomes a rather elaborate background condition, like weather or gravity. Unfortunately, this has not made him especially happy. J. P. Donleavy?s A Singular Man is a darkly comic, eccentric and thoroughly Donleavy-esque novel about wealth, loneliness, sex, death, social absurdity and the peculiar problem of having almost everything one might reasonably want while remaining fundamentally dissatisfied with the whole arrangement. Originally published in the 1960s and issued here in this 1979 Penguin edition , the novel follows George Smith, an American millionaire living in New York whose fortune allows him access to comfort, privilege and considerable quantities of expensive inconvenience. Smith inhabits a world of lawyers, undertakers, mistresses, servants, businessmen, hangers-on and assorted characters who seem permanently poised either to sell him something, seduce him, sue him or bury him. Sometimes possibly all four. He is wealthy enough to purchase almost anything but not, apparently, a straightforward existence. Which is reassuring for the rest of us. The novel opens into a world where death is never far away, although Donleavy treats mortality with the same mixture of melancholy and comic absurdity that he applies to practically everything else. Smith becomes preoccupied with funerals, burial arrangements and the uncomfortable administrative details surrounding the eventual disposal of oneself. This may sound gloomy. It frequently is. It is also very funny. There is something inherently comic about a wealthy man attempting to impose order on death through proper planning, paperwork and expenditure, as though mortality might ultimately be persuaded to provide a more satisfactory service if one speaks firmly to management. Money can buy an impressive funeral. It cannot make the guest of honour enjoy it. Around this runs Smith?s complicated personal life. Women appear. Relationships develop. Relationships deteriorate. Desire competes with loneliness. People misbehave. And Donleavy demonstrates his customary suspicion that romantic relationships might have been invented primarily to ensure that otherwise peaceful people always have something additional to worry about. Smith is not a conventional hero. He can be selfish, ridiculous, lonely, pompous, vulnerable and occasionally oddly sympathetic. In other words, recognisably human, except with more money. His wealth magnifies everything. Ordinary anxieties become elaborate anxieties. Personal failures occur in better rooms. Loneliness takes place behind more expensive doors. And existential despair benefits from significantly improved upholstery. This is one of the novel?s recurring jokes: prosperity has solved the problems associated with not having money while leaving most of the other problems irritatingly intact. There are servants to deal with daily needs. There are businesses and investments generating wealth. There are large houses and impressive surroundings. And yet George Smith remains George Smith. Apparently the self is one of the few things money cannot successfully outsource. Donleavy?s prose is unmistakable. Readers familiar with The Ginger Man will recognise the same anarchic energy, abrupt shifts, comic exaggeration and mixture of the poetic with the profane. Sentences can swing from melancholy reflection to farce with barely enough warning to fasten a seat belt. Characters speak with their own eccentric rhythms. Respectable society continually threatens to collapse into chaos. And underneath the comedy sits a persistent awareness of solitude. Donleavy has always been particularly good at the strange territory where sadness becomes funny because it has been allowed to continue slightly too long. A man experiences a minor humiliation. Then another. Then something. N° de réf. du vendeur 7367
