That Uncertain Feeling (novel)

That Uncertain Feeling is a comic novel by Kingsley Amis, first published in 1955.

[2] It was also adapted by the BBC in 1986 as a television series, starring Denis Lawson and Sheila Gish, this time with the original title.

A satire on life and culture in a Welsh seaside town, the story concerns a married librarian who begins an affair with the bored wife of a local bigwig.

Amis, an English incomer to Swansea in real life, mocks Wales's devotion to culture and learning as false and pretentious.

[3] In The Old Devils, one of the central characters, the writer Alun Weaver, is portrayed as a "stage-Taffy"; Weaver is the memoirist of a fictional Welsh poet based loosely on Dylan Thomas.
