Biography
The protagonist in the "Timothy Cavendish" chapters stumbles into success with his client's book, "Knuckle Sandwich," when the author suddenly pushes an unflattering critic over a twelfth story balcony. Escaping the author's thuggish relatives, he flees to a "hotel" recommended by his brother. The hotel, Aurora House, turns out to be a no-escape "rest home" for the elderly, run by the sadistic Nurse Noakes. Cavendish is trapped at the hotel for several weeks, during which time he has a mild (possibly induced) stroke. He finally escapes the facility with the aid of several other inmates, re-establishes his publishing business; and gets to work on his tale, "The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish," which he hopes to have made into a movie. Instead of returning to London, he settles in Edinburgh at a small inn where he can enjoy the relaxed countryside.
