In a spiraling farce about upright academics, gilded captains of industry, ambitious climbers, and dotty philanthropists, Frayn tells a story of personal and professional disintegration as he delivers readers to the outer limits of hilarity.

I read this book after some abdominal surgery - which was unfortunate because every time I laughed it hurt like a bitch! It is a fun read about mistaken identity and all over silliness.
Tom Sharpe wrote brilliant farces, David lodge writes campus novels, here frayn mixes them up and sets the result on a Greek Island. Very competent and readable , but light holiday matter.
