A successful sitcom writer with plenty of money, a stable marraige, a platonic mistress and a flash car, Laurence 'Tubby' Passmore has more reason than most to be happy. Yet neither physiotherapy nor aromatherapy, cognitive-behaviour therapy or acupuncture can cure his puzzling knee pain or his equally inexplicable mid-life angst. As Tubby's life fragments under the weight of his self-obsession, he embarks - via Kierkegaard, strange beds from Rummidge to Tenerife to Beverly Hills, a fit of literary integrity and memories of his 1950s South London boyhood - on a picaresque quest for his lost contentment.

У Лоренса Пассмора, казалось бы, есть все: любимая жена и двое детей, не менее любимая и хорошо оплачиваемая работа, потрясающий спортивный автомобиль и даже платоническая привязанность. И все же он чувствует себя несчастным. А тут еще эта таинственная боль в колене...И вот, попадая то на больничную койку, то в чужую постель, ныряя в дебри то психоанализа, то философии Кьеркегора, герой романа пытается вылечить не только тело, но и душу...
