About This Book

A worldly, pleasure-seeking man moves through resort towns, hotels, and business circles, becoming entangled with an alluring woman whose family banking interests complicate his plans. Episodes combine light social games, seaside and urban scenes, and negotiations over deposits and company finance, while travel and chance encounters propel a flirtatious, sometimes competitive relationship. The prose offers brisk, observational sketches of modern leisure and commerce, with ironic commentary on ambition, personal liberty, and the commodification of desire, arranged in parts that follow shifting alliances, business maneuvers, and recurring moments of self-doubt.
