The Man in a Hurry
''The Man in a Hurry'' ((フランス語:L'Homme pressé)) is a 1941 novel by the French writer Paul Morand. It tells the story of a busy Paris antiques dealer who does not seem to be able to relax and settle down, not even when he finally falls in love, gets married and has a child. According to Morand, the main character is largely autobiographical. An English translation by Euan Cameron was published by Pushkin Press in 2015.
==Reception==
Bill Spence of ''The Press'' wrote in 2015: "This novel is a joy to read and has been superbly translated for the first time in English. Euan Cameron brings out the true flavour of French literature. It is an unusual, witty book that is so apt for our way of life in a technological age." ''Kirkus Reviews'' wrote the same year: "The translation's prose is refined and worldly, the atmosphere European, the overall effect that of a ''jeu d'esprit''. Where the book rises above that is in the depiction of the minimatriarchy Pierre marries into. The four women's curious behavior recalls moments in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels and Eugenides' ''Virgin Suicides''."
