Enderby - poet, social critic, comrade and Catholic - is endlessly hounded by wo
men. He may be found hiding in the lavatory where much of his best work is compo
sed, or perhaps in Rome, brainwashed into respectability by a glamorous wife, af

in Morocco, expounding on his notorious sex film on a TV chat show, or writing a
hit musical based on the life and work of Shakespeare, Enderby emerges triumpha
nt.
