'An insightful and humorous tale of the unexpected.''A sardonic delight. If Thackeray had lived in the 21st century, then he might have written Charles Middleworth.'What happens when Adrian, an actuary, has his banal and predictable existence turned upside down by sinister forces that he can neither understand nor control? How will he react to a revelation that leaves his life in turmoil? Will he surrender or strive for redemption in an altered world, where rationality, scientific logic and algorithms no longer provide the answers?'A wonderfully funny, dark and sardonic snapshot into the world of the much maligned actuary.' - Sam Woodward'The limited world of a dull and awkward techno geek is galvanised by certain psychological revelations.
Insightful, imaginative and full of subtle wit.' - Harley'Charles Middleworth is a literary masterpiece with a carefully woven plot.' - Reviewer'This was a captivating book, well written with a witty dry sense of humour.' Reviewer

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Guy Portman

As far back as anyone can remember Guy has been an introverted creature, with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and a sardonic sense of humour. Throughout a childhood in London spent watching cold war propaganda gems such as He Man, an adolescence confined in various institutions, and a career that has encompassed stints in academic research and the sports industry, Guy has been a keen if somewhat cynical social observer.
Humour of the sardonic variety is a recurring theme in Guy's writing. His first novel, Charles Middleworth, is an insightful tale of the unexpected. Like the author, the protagonist in Necropolis and Sepultura is a darkly humorous individual - though, unlike the author, he is a sociopath. His latest effort, Tomorrow's World, is a satirical book of vignettes about the future.
