Martin Sproale is an assistant postmaster obsessed with
Ernest Hemingway. He lives in a small English village, where
he studies his hero and putters about harmlessly--until an
ambitious outsider, Nick Marshall, is appointed postmaster
instead of Martin. Slick and self-assured, Nick steals
Martin's girlfriend and decides to modernize the friendly
local office by firing dedicated but elderly employees and
privatizing the business. Suddenly, gentle Martin is faced with a choice: meekly
accept defeat as he always has, or fight for what he
believes in, as his hero Hemingway would. Filled with Michael Palin’s trademark wit and good humor,
this novel is for anyone who has ever dreamed of triumphing
over the technocrats and backstabbers of the world.
Hilarious, touching and ultimately inspirational,
Hemingway's Chair will make readers stand up and cheer.
