Hump,a professional acrobat and hunchback,whose invitation is numbered 15,372, is one of the 20,000 guests at a party given by the Authorities one Sunday morning in London.Hump has no grievances against society,is sure of his art and happy in his dreams of a medieval princess
and a less crooked world.As he takes his place in the receiving line,he looks forward to meeting the guest of honour, Miss Rose Tuckaloo,fashion model,but when his turn comes he disgraces himself and runs.As a result of the festivities,he is cruelly interrogated by sophisticated and witty politicians who take him to Paris for lunch.The nightmare hounding and final
defection of Hump makes this novel a most
gruesome and powerful allegory of the conflict between Art and organised society.
