Timaş Yayınları Keep The Aspidistra Flying (English Book)

Product description

Gordon comstock has "declared war" on what he sees as an "overwhelming dependence" on money by leaving a promising job as a copywriter for an advertising company called "new albion" – where he demonstrates great skill – and taking a low-paying job instead, supposedly so he can write poetry. Coming from a respectable family background where the inherited wealth has now become dissipated, gordon resents having to work for a living.

however, the 'war' (and the poetry), are not going particularly well and, under the stress of his 'self-imposed exile' from affluence, gordon has become absurd, petty and deeply neurotic. Comstock lives without luxuries in a bedsit in london, which he affords by working in a small bookshop owned by a scot, mckechnie. He works intermittently on a magnum opus he plans to call 'london pleasures', describing a day in london

meanwhile, his only published work, a slim volume of poetry entitled mice, collects dust on the remaining shelf. He is simultaneously content with his meager existence and also disdainful of it. He lives without financial ambition and the need for a 'good job,' but his living conditions are uncomfortable and his job is boring.
