Regarded by many as the best novel ever written about journalists, Michael Frayn's brilliantly funny Towards the End of the Morning (1967) is justly celebrated as a classic in Great Britain but has been long unavailable in America. This new edition features an introduction by the author.

'The most delightful, sophisticated novel: Michael Frayn is probably England's funniest writer.' - New York Times

'High comedy ... an extremely well-written, witty novel.' - Daily Telegraph

'A gem of a comic book. It's a brilliant, fast game of poker with the author holding all the best hands.' - Vogue

'Still ranks with Evelyn Waugh's Scoop as one of the funniest novels about journalists ever written.' - Sunday Times
