Book Description
First published in Britain in 1987, "Playing for Time" now adds some priceless English hilarity to American shelves. It tells of how a bumbling, shy, endearingly inconsequent, and rather Wodehousian young chap--i.e., Jeremy Lewis when young--found a refuge from real life in the "curious, Edenic" limbo of Dublin's Trinity College, where for four years he "applied" himself to the curriculum of idling, boozing, snoozing, and related subjects. Lewis has an uncommonly keen eye for his own feckless oddity back then, and his rich stock of comic anecdotes keeps the laughs coming.
