Book description
I> records several anxious days in the life of Kenneth Crane,
unemployed graduate. Crane has taken a temporary post as tutor to the
young son of a luminary in a small seaside town. Crane finds life
difficult enough, but almost intolerably so when he finds himself
number-one suspect on a possible murder charge. For the delectable Kitty
du Chair, by even contemporary standards a remarkably advanced
teen-ager, disappears. She has been seen consorting with Crane. The
police close in and Crane s behaviour becomes more erratic (and
hilarious). Summer Season is like a Jacques Tati film, having the same
dream-like, almost surrealist quality. The humour is infectious and will
be caught by very many readers
