Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
One warm July morning Mr Phillips climbs out of bed, leaving Mrs Phillips dozing. He prepares for his commute into the city - but this is no ordinary Monday. It is a day on which Mr Phillips will chat with a pornographer, stalk a TV mini-celebrity, have lunch with an aspiring record mogul and get caught up in a bank robbery.So why is Mr Phillips, a cautious middle-aged accountant, not at work?
