Is Green Man a comedy? It’s Amis (who said that his works were in the “hero-as-shit mold”)

Like Lucky Jim, The Green Man has one or two very funny situations, but it is much more ambitious. The protagonist is unhappy because selfish, selfish because unhappy, and very nearly wicked because both, but his daughter and his cat like him, and so you get to too.

Yeah you *kinda* get to like him. But that book is not very funny (and not trying to be). Nice and Halloweeny though.
