A novel. I wrestled with life and lost."" So begins the story of Michael, a lawyer known to his colleagues and associates as Sir Marvin, who picks his way - sometimes delicately, but often in his own blundering way - through the intricacies that make up a life: love and anger, humility and ambition, trust and distrust, selfishness and selflessness. “I wrestled with life and lost.”

So begins the story of Michael, a corporate lawyer known to his colleagues and associates as Sir Marvin, who picks his way – sometimes delicately, but more often in his own blundering way – through the unfathomable intricacies that make up a life: love and anger, humility and ambition, trust and distrust, selfishness and selflessness. A flawed individual with an acute understanding of the roads that must be navigated to achieve even the slightest insight into the human condition. In this study in introspection, embroidered with lyrical prose and astonishing intuition, the hero, meditative and melancholic, is at once both tragic and comic.
