Kingsley Amis’s Stanley and the Women tells the story of a middle-aged journalist whose pleasant life is disturbed by his son, Steve, developing schizophrenia. Stanley tries to get help for Steve while his wife, ex-wife, mother-in-law, mistress, doctors and colleagues throw obstacles in his way. As the title suggests, it’s the women in Stanley’s life - all seemingly just as crazy as his son - who cause him the most problems.
