It gets worse - Nicholas Lezard

It Gets Worse is the second instalment of Nicholas Lezard's rueful, dissolute life.

Beginning where his first volume, Bitter Experience Has Taught Me, ended, Nick's fortunes have not improved.

At home in the Hovel, his bachelor existence makes a further descent into chaos, yet the misadventures are faced with sardonic wit, pathos and something like dissident wisdom.
