Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Wilt (Wilt #1)

Henry Wilt, tied to a daft job and a domineering wife, has just been passed over for promotion yet again. Ahead of him at the Polytechnic stretch years of trying to thump literature into the heads of plasterers, joiners, butchers and the like. And things are no better at home where his massive wife, Eva, is given to boundless and unpredictable fits of enthusiasm -for transcendental meditation, yoga or the trampoline. But if Wilt can do nothing about his job, he can do something about his wife, in imagination at least, and his fantasies grow daily more murderous and more concrete. After a peculiarly nasty experience at a party thrown by particularly nasty Americans, Wilt finds himself in several embarrassing positions: Eva stalks out in stratospheric dudgeon, and Wilt, under the inspiration of gin, puts one of his more vindictive fantasies into effect. But suspicions are instantly aroused and Wilt rapidly achieves an unenviable notoriety in the role of The Man Helping Police With Their Enquiries. Or is he exactly helping? Wilt's problem -although he's on the other side of the fence -is the same as Inspector Flint's: where is Eva Wilt? But Wilt begins to flourish in the heat of the investigation, and as the police stoke the flames of circumstantial evidence, Wilt deploys all his powers to show that the Law can't tell a Missing Person from a hole in the ground.

Weigh Up Based On Books Wilt (Wilt #1)

One of the funniest books I ever read. It and its sequel made me laugh out loud, as did other Sharpe books, and it's good to see it's taking on new life. Oddly, the BBC rendition, much like their Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, was surprisingly unfunny although faithful in both cases to the material.

Better Late Than NeverScatological sarcasm is a Sharpe speciality. In Porterhouse Blue he uses it to parody Oxbridge tradition. Wilt goes for the jugular of California-chic, a somewhat more recent tradition inserting itself into British life during the 1970s. Being in a somewhat sheltered environment in the 70s educational-wise, as Wilts wife Eva might say (I spent most of that period on a ship at sea or in the semi-dream state of a married graduate student), I missed a great deal of the

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard reading a book. This is an outrageously funny novel.The book is full of ridiculous circumstances that bring out the eccentricities in its characters. And so consistently funny, oh God! All of Dr. Board's dialogues deserve to be written down, remembered and laughed over again and again. Tom Sharpe is truly the master of satire! I'm certainly going to read more of him and hopefully without choking myself out in the process.

The funniest book I've come across in which sex with a blow-up doll is a major theme. It's a genre I'm only marginally familiar with, so no doubt I'm missing all the nuances. I know, a gap in my literary education. But you can't find time for everything.

I special-ordered a (well) used copy of this OOP book, hoping for some laughs. Alas, it was not to be. One never knows with humour, especially British humor. Oh, well. Caveat lector. Not for me!You may want to read some of the (many) negative reviews here before making a special effort to find this one. OTOH, you might love it. Humor is weird that way.

I love love loved this book. I was initially not sure if I would enjoy this but it's been a long time since I read a good purely comedic novel. Wilt is dark and funny and witty (the character and the book both btw). Would highly recommend this one. What a hidden gem. Thank you so much to the very special person who bought this for me.

I first read this book many many years ago when I was in my mid teens, and I remember loving it. I decided to revisit it as an adult but was slightly dubious. Would it be as good as I remembered? To be honest it was even better - most of the humour is broad enough for even a teenage reader to enjoy but there's a sophistication here that must have gone over my head years ago. I think with this re-reading I got more out the book. The book had me laughing like a loon several times and my heart was
