Sous la forme d'une parodie de roman d'espionnage, les aventures rocambolesques de Thomas Fowley, un agent du ministère de l'Information envoyé à Bruxelles pour y superviser la construction du pavillon britannique à l'Exposition universelle et y tenir un pub, le Britannia, censé représenter la culture de son pays.

"A young woman named Calista meets the famed Hollywood director Billy Wilder in the sweltering summer of 1977. She knows nothing about him or his work, but this chance encounter will change her life for good. But while Calista is thrilled with her new adventure, Wilder himself - struggling to raise the money for his next feature film - is living with the realisation that his star may be on the wane. In his new novel that is, by turns, funny, tender and profoundly truthful, Jonathan Coe turns his gaze to the nature of time, fame, family and nostalgia. When the world is catapulting towards change, do you hold on for dear life or decide it's time to let go?" 4ème de couverture
