When Percy Vosper inaugurates a literary festival in his home town, the place is shaken to its foundations when a dysfunctional travelling theatre company and a stream of larger than life literati descend on it. The ambitions of a leading national newspaper group and a local radio station's hilarious broadcasts add further spice to this lively novel which ranges from tragedy to farce.
