Christie Malry's Own Double Entry by B. S. Johnson
A Novel of Accounting and Revenge
In this darkly comedic novel, a disillusioned young man named Christie Malry, who works as a bank clerk, becomes obsessed with the principles of double-entry bookkeeping. He applies this accounting method to his own life, meticulously balancing perceived injustices with acts of petty revenge. As his grievances grow, so do his retaliations, escalating from minor pranks to more sinister deeds. Through Christie's journey, the narrative explores themes of alienation, the absurdity of modern life, and the quest for personal significance in a world governed by impersonal systems.
