    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;With film rights acquired by Francis Ford Coppola, this comic novel of instant riches is back in stock. From the author of A Clockwork Orange, One Hand Clapping is a comedy of game shows and greed, high stakes and the high life. The tragi-comedy of used car salesman Howard Shirley, his photographic brain, and the modern world's trivia and trivialities makes for vintage Burgess&#8212;at once hilarious and provocative. &#8220;Witty and shrewdly joyful.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review &#8220;A funny, pointed novel.&#8221;&#8212;The New Yorker &#8220;Ingeniously and devilishly funny.&#8221;&#8212;The Atlantic Monthly&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The story is narrated by Janet, in a completely dispassionate, matter-of-fact manner. She seems somewhat older than her 23 years, but that may be a British thing to which I can't relate. The style of narration is in sharp contrast to the events that unfold, making the ending all the more horrifying....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11712873">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Used car salesman Howard Shirley is watching England's most popular high-stakes TV quiz show with his wife, Janet, in their modest provincial house when it strikes him that his freakish &quot;photographic brain&quot; might make them an easy fortune. It also leads to first-class travel, luxury hotels, mink coats, some misguided philanthropy, and ultimately, outrageously, and comically, not entirely accidental death. Talkatively and divertingly narrated from Janet's worldly perspective, the tragi-comedy of Howard, his one-of-a-kind mind, and the modern world's trivia and trivialities makes for vintage Burgess -- at once hilarious and provocative.]]>
