We all know a George. He’s the kind of guy who’s brimming with potential but incapable of following through; he doesn’t know if he’s in love with his girlfriend, but he certainly likes having her around; he’s distant from – but still reliant on – his mother; he swears he’ll finish his novel one day.
Sure, you might find him disappointing. But no one is more disappointed in George than George himself.
As funny as it is astute and as singular as it is universal, The Book of George is a deft, unexpectedly moving never-coming-of-age tale and a portrait of one man, but also countless others.
