Set during the 1988 Olympics, Notes for Monday follows three days in the life of Tommy McBeath, an opinionated “old school” lawyer. Tommy’s attempts to prepare a speech for his retirement celebration are continually sidelined by his rants and tangents, and by his ailing wife Vera.
A brief foray into a curmudgeon's life - an honest and brutal account, though the reader is immersed in the humour of the daily events. Favorite expression: 'constipation of the mind'.
