Andew Whittaker is the editor of a small but beautifully formed literary journal - 'Soap: A Journal of the Arts'. Through this journal, he hopes to fan the flames of literary excellence...which is not easy when he is beset by debt, a demanding ex-wife, desperate authors, insane tenants and his own crippling lack of perspective. Strapped for cash, he decides to set up a literary festival that will save the ailing journal - but will this be his moment of glory or his Waterloo? And will his lost lover perhaps come back to him one day? In the meantime, his battle with his tenants reaches epic proportions. THE CRY OF THE SLOTH is a briliant dissection of the arts world in all its glory - and madness!

  • I would recommend it only to my best enemy. Boring boring boring.
    Until the end hoping for something good to found out about this book and regretfully nothing in the end.
