Amis in deeper waters The Green Man review
Kingsley Amis shifts into supernatural strata with The Green Man set in a Herefordshire pub. Maurice Allington, a middle aged alcoholic, navigates drink, marriage, and a ghostly visitor Underhill as the narrative probes death, solitude, and dualities of psychology and faith. The critic notes Amis blends satire with metaphysical questions, rating the work as courageous though uneven.
