The Green Man (New York Review Books Classics)

Maurice Allington has reached middle age and is haunted by death. As he says, â€œI honestly canâ€™t see why everybody who isnâ€™t a child, everybody whoâ€™s theoretically old enough to have understood what death means, doesnâ€™t spend all his time thinking about it. Itâ€™s a pretty arresting thought.â€ He also happens to own and run a country inn that is haunted. The Green Man opens as Mauriceâ€™s father drops dead (had he seen something in the room?) and continues as friends and family convene for the funeral.

Mauriceâ€™s problems are many and increasing: How to deal with his own declining health? How to reach out to a teenage daughter who watches TV all the time? How to get his best friendâ€™s wife in the sack? How to find another drink? (And another.) And then there is always death.

The Green Man is a ghost story that hits a live nerve, a very black comedy with an uncannily happy ending: in other words, Kingsley Amis at his best.
