Product Description
Billy Liar captures brilliantly the claustrophobic atmosphere of a small town. It tells the story of Billy Fisher, a Yorkshire teenager unable to stop lying - especially to his three girlfriends. Trapped by his boring job and working-class parents, Billy finds that his only happiness lies in grand plans for his future and fantastical day-dreams of the fictional country Ambrosia.
Running through Billy Liar is a streak of melancholia - Billy knows he’s trapped in this small stifling town where nobody is on his wavelength. So underneath the mostly unfunny comedy is a sad familiar tale plus a whole ton of detail about English provincial life in 1959, after Elvis but before the Beatles, and before the contraceptive pill too.
