Keep the Aspidistra Flying

About this book

In a bitter struggle with the 'money god', a failed poet discovers that the fiercest battles of freedom are those we fight against our daily routine. The narrative develops its central concerns through character, conflict, and consequence, with particular attention to high-quality literary translation, classics, and literary. It keeps the human stakes in view as choices expose loyalties, fears, and competing ideas of justice. The result is a story shaped by emotional tension as much as by events, inviting readers to consider what its characters gain, lose, and finally understand.
