Jake Donaghue, garrulous artist, meets Hugo Belfounder, silent philosopher.,Jake, hack writer and sponger, now penniless flat-hunter, seeks out an old girlfriend, Anna Quentin, and her glamorous actress sister, Sadie. He resumes acquaintance with formidable Hugo, whose â€˜philosophyâ€™ he once presumptuously dared to interpret. These meetings involve Jake and his eccentric servant-companion, Finn, in a series of adventures that include the kidnapping of a film-star dog, and a political riot in a film-set of ancient Rome. Jake, fascinated, longs to learn Hugoâ€™s secret. Perhaps Hugoâ€™s secret is Hugo himself? Admonished, enlightened, Jake hopes at last to become a real writer.
