Being There

"Chance, a fabulours creature of our age" "Time" The hero of this astronishing novel is called chance - he may be the man of tomorrow. Flung into the real world when his rich benefactor dies, Chance is helped on his life journey by Elizabeth Eve, the young, beautiful, resourceful, resourceful wife of a dying Wall Street mogul. Accidentally launched into a world of sex, money, a household name, the man of the hour - and, who knows, perhaps the next President of the United States of America. "Being there" is a reverse parable, highly polished and patterned to the last twitch of the nerves" Norman Shrapnel, "Guardian" "Not until you put the book down do you realize how chilling is the image of yourselves in Kosinski's mirror... it will, survive as a seminal work". (John Barkham, "Saturday Review") "A tantalizing knuckle ball of a book delivered with perfectly timed satirical hops and metaphysical flutters". (R. Z. Sheppard, "Time") "Extremely well written. Under the circumstances, I can only urge as many people as possible to rush out and buy it". (Auberon Waugh, "Spectator")
