The Eve of Saint Venus, by Anthony Burgess, is a great insight into English life during the middle of the 20th century.
The Eve of Saint Venus, like so many of Burgess' work, steps out of the everyday reality and challenges our notions of what reality really is.
This work is hilarious, caustic and infinitely insightful, whether Burgess is talking about class conflict, sexual orientations or any other of the many subjects he includes in his works, it's a masterpiece in esoteric fiction.
