Description
‘In a class by himself—the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety’ William Golding
Bertram was not a believer in luck or superstitions. An unambitious assistant accountant, his plans for his second marriage are typically quiet—St Luke's, Maida Hill, then two weeks in Bournemouth. But then he comes to the attention of Dreuther, the director of Bertram's company, who changes Bertram's plans for him—wedding and honeymoon in Monte Carlo, on board his private yacht.
Inevitably Bertram visits the casino and inevitably he loses. But then his system starts working, and his trouble really begins—
Loser Takes All by Graham Greene intricately unfolds this tale of unexpected transformations and unforeseen challenges in Bertram's life.
