Written from the uneasy perspective of an aging, incontinent author of extremely successful middlebrow plays, we learn about his manservant, a young film actor who is easily moved to both delicate gestures and terrible tantrums; who's been authorized to handle his master's finances, who orders stock buys, dictates his master's wardrobe, sleeps in his master's bed, and yet won't let him watch variety television. \u003ci\u003eMy Manservant \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand Me\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the rude specificities of this relationship with provocative humor and stylistic abjection.
