This is in effect a chain-of-voices novella. Four anti-heroic 'friends' meet for dinner after ten years apart, in the flat of the richest of the four. Tensions among them get seriously out of control, not least due to the upmanship of the banker. Perhaps this is intended as social satire, but I didn't just find it rebarbative in the extreme--i didn't laugh once. At least it's an attack on Bankers, whose ethical sense always threatens to sacrifice everything for more money.
