Its likely topic revolves around the commentary and satire of contemporary British society, addressing issues such as social class, politics, and everyday life with wit and irony. The content of this volume features various pieces that illustrate the absurdities of different characters and situations, such as Saunders McGregor, a man who persistently seeks success through his reliance on testimonials rather than genuine ability.
