Hilarious, bittersweet tale of a lost young man's existential odyssey.

In the years before and after World War II, Balthazar B is the world's last shy, elegant young man.

Born to riches in Paris and raised by his governess, Balthazar is shipped off to a British boarding school, where he meets the noble but naughty Beefy.

The duo matriculate to Trinity College, Dublin, where Balthazar reads zoology and Beefy prepares for holy orders, all the while sharing amorous adventures high and low, until their university careers come to an abrupt and decidedly unholy end.
