Porlock Counterpoint Summary
| There are criminals . and there are criminals! Where sit the guilty? Around your dinner table? Grubbing for pennies on a street corner? Where does poor innocence cross the line? When does 'middle-class' become sordid? In this sprint-paced, intriguing book of words, Sam Smith poses these questions. He suggests there is a difference between good and bad . depending only from which standpoint you examine the scene of the crime. Like a master crossword-puzzle compiler . he lays a trail of clues to your own private stance and leaves you to find the only fitting answer for yourself. A luckless young couple with a baby on the way stumble onto a treasure-trove drug dump when they joy-ride an expensive car to the maternity hospital . in desperation. A rich, middle-aged yuppie couple with a private yacht, a home in the country and their very own drugs ring count their money . in their own kind of innocence. Porlock Counterpoint explores the descant between the two couples and explodes the myth of attraction of opposites. Each couple detests the morals and social status of the other. The earthy detectives on their trail despise them both . they even despise each other! They all play in counterpoint. Sam Smith is the skilled questionmaster. The reader decides who's on the side of the angels. |
