Bureaucracy

A ministry clerk of real ability is up for a vacant headship, and his wife runs a salon to get it for him — against a colleague who has understood that in an office the work is not the point. Balzac wrote at night on fifty cups of coffee a day and died at fifty-one having built the Human Comedy; this is his anatomy of the civil service, and every reader who has ever worked in an institution will recognise the machinery.
