Who is Jack Warliss? And what is he doing
with Annie,a hardheaded Communist; Lucy,a weird feminist poet from South London and Nelly,a Yugoslav housewife,whose passion for cooking and eating large meals is ruining her marriage? Jack Warliss does
not know the answers to any of these questions; indeed,the hero of Nigel Williams' second novel is chiefly remarkable for dodging problems,not solving them.It is the women who provide most of the answers,for 'Jack Be Nimble' is not only concerned with male identity - it is about the hunger for a change in the traditional role of women, both in and
out of the family.A novel of contemporary (then 1980) London which,partly satirical
in intent,has a warmth and vigour about it that carry the reader irresistibly along. See also book ID rja1928.
