Shandygaff by Christopher Morley, Fiction, Classics, Literary

The book explores the intersection of art and personal reflection through a series of exercises inspired by a historical anecdote involving George Gissing. It delves into themes of homelessness, societal norms, and the significance of public spaces, particularly the British Museum's washroom, which Gissing viewed with reverence. The narrative juxtaposes the beauty of human experience against the rigidity of institutional rules, inviting readers to consider the deeper meanings behind everyday rituals and locations.
