There is a little game I play where I ask "What Is the National Question?" Crucial to this game is this book by Stephen Potter. It was the beginning of a prosperous period for the author as it opened the way for a series of books which fattened his wallet for at least a decade. It is comedy based on the reinforcement of personal superiority in social relations by appearing to have been more deeply involved on any point than one's companion. It is not kind comedy, but wry smiles do abound. What then is the national question of the English |(not British in general) person? "What is MY status in this circumstance?" of course. Go and sin no more. Of course you may just feel that it is the only true question, in which case I wish you a happy life in the real world. ( )

Not much, dated. Would rush back to read others by the author. ( )

as with his other 'manship' books potter hits the nail on the head when it comes to defeating the unrelenting bores of this world. great read ( )
