Iris Murdoch - Under the Net

Jake Donaghue is a struggling writer, penniless, in need of somewhere to live and someone to sponge off. This picaresque novel follows him through a series of events initiated by a meeting with an ex-girlfriend. Murdoch's first novel, this can be read as a humorous slice of 1950s bohemia, or a more complex philosophical work.
