A sharp and witty comic novel set in England, Who Was Oswald Fish? chronicles the lives of a cast of eccentric characters whose fates become hilariously intertwined through the legacy of a Victorian architect. A.N. Wilson brings his trademark literary intelligence and satirical eye to bear on questions of art, religion, sex, and class, presenting a story that is both farcical and deeply humane. The novel uncovers the absurdities lurking beneath the surface of respectable English life, weaving together past and present with elegant structural precision. Wilson's prose is razor-sharp, and his characters — bumbling, self-deceiving, and utterly alive — make for a thoroughly entertaining and memorable read.
