Description - Expo 58 by Jonathan Coe
Good-looking girls and sinister spies- a naive Englishman loose in Europe in Jonathan Coe's brilliant comic novel
London, 1958- unassuming civil servant Thomas Foley is plucked from his desk job and sent on a six-month trip to Brussels. His task- to keep an eye on The Britannia, a brand new pub which will form the heart of the British presence at Expo 58 - the biggest World's Fair of the century.
As soon as he arrives, Thomas is equally bewitched by the surreal, gigantic Atomium, which stands at the heart of this brave new world, and by Anneke, a lovely Flemish hostess. But Thomas's new-found sense of freedom comes at a price- two British spies are following him.
