- Summary
- "At various times in his life, Tom Harris was a dull schoolboy, an apprentice barber, a delinquent husband, an old man with a monkey who drank at the Green Man Pub, "il professore Harris" at the University of Genoa, and possibly a murderer. The question of who the elusive Tom Harris really is, and what crimes he has really committed, obsesses the narrator of this novel. Tom Harris is an outlandish, highly unconventional detective story, ingeniously plotted in a style reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh and Henry Green at their best."--Jacket.
