Simon the Jester By hereswhatithink When Simon de Gex, wealthy and successful MP, finds he has six months to live, he embarks on a quest for "eumoiriety".In the words of Marcus Aurelius, " Let death surprise me when or where it will, I may be eumoiros, or a happy man, nevertheless. For he is a happy man who in his lifetime dealeth unto himself a happy lot and portion...in good desires, good actions."So in the matter of a few months, Simon disposes of his wealth in handouts, charities, in hefty tips etc. After all, what good is money when you're six feet under? If Simon can "fix " the universal woes by dipping into his pockets then by all means live, laugh and be eumoirous!But doctors can be wrong, one can meddle where one is not desired, and what does one do when there is a return from the grave but its a return to a bleak world? No money. No society friends. No real skills. No desire? It is a quest for eumoiriety all over again. But this time, perhaps this time, Simon returns a wiser man...I really liked this. What Ive summarized seems pretty straightforward and tame, but there are a lot of twists and turns along the way and interesting characters to spice things up. There's Lola the lion tamer, an eccentric dwarf "Mr. Anastasius Papadopoulos"; Simon's young friend Dale, and Eleanor Faversham, Simon's finance, about whom he admits:"There seemed a whimsical attraction in the idea of marrying a girl with a thousand virtues. Before me lay the pleasant prospect of reducing them, say, ten at a time, until I reached the limit at which life was possible, and then one by one until life became entertaining."CONTENT: GPROFANITY : A few D's
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A fine book By J. G. Buxbaum "It was a soft November day, full of blue mist and invested with a dying grace by a pale sunshine struggling through thin, grey rain clouds. It was a faded lady of a day - a lady of waxen cheeks, attired in pearl-grey and old lace, her dim eyes illumined by a last smile." Such were his thoughts after Simon de Gex, MP, learned that he had 6 months to live. He might have isolated himself and waited the inevitable outcome, but if he had we would not have a wonderful story of a man struggling to do good in his final days and failing and succeeding and finally understanding what it means. Don't get the idea that this is a melancholy tale. It is not. William John Locke is a delightfully humourous writer and that wit appears throughout this book. His style, grasp of language, development of memorable characters, and, best of all, storytelling ability shine through in this book. I think he is among the very best English writers of any age.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl By A. Woman Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Englishman Simon de Gex wants to leave some kind of legacy behind. First up on the docket is his political protégé, Dale Kynnersley. Dale has dared to fall in love with Lola Brandt, a circus performer who says she's not a circus performer but I'm going to call her a circus performer. We just can't have the upper classes mixing with the lower classes! Simon worms his way in-between with the intent of breaking the couple up only to discover to his surprise he has fallen himself in love with Lola.Being a performer, Lola's life was full of trials, tribulations, and travel. In short she was a much more interesting character. I would rather have read about her life story rather than put up with Simon "Check out my vocabulary" de Gex.
