Peeping Tom – Howard Jacobson
“Peeping Tom” is a novel written by British author Howard Jacobson. It was published in 1984 and is one of Jacobson’s early works of fiction.
The novel tells the story of Barney Fugleman, a middle-aged schoolteacher in London. Barney becomes obsessed with a beautiful young woman named Delphina, and his infatuation with her takes on an increasingly voyeuristic and unsettling quality. The story explores themes of obsession, desire, and the darker aspects of human nature.
Howard Jacobson is known for his wit and humor in his writing, and “Peeping Tom” showcases his talent for sharp and satirical prose. The novel delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of unchecked desire. It’s a character-driven narrative that reflects on the vulnerability and folly of its protagonist.
“Peeping Tom” is one of Howard Jacobson’s early novels and offers a glimpse into the themes and writing style that would become more fully developed in his later works.
