Going Down Slow is an intense and very funny novel about one man's attempt to maintain his sanity, and his sense of humour, in the face of mounting odds. Metcalf's young hero David Appleby, a young school teacher just over from Britain, is pitted against small-mindedness, prejudice, and temptations that are generations old. Sharp and biting satire.
