About This Item
Synopsis
Billy Liar (1959) is a novel by Keith Waterhouse that was later adapted into a play, film, musical and TV series. The semi-comical story is about Billy Fisher, a working-class 19-year-old living with his parents in the fictional town of Stradhoughton in Yorkshire. Bored by his job as a lowly clerk for an undertaker, Billy spends his time indulging in Walter Mitty-like fantasies and dreams of life in the big city as a comedy writer.
