"Long live the ficus!" (1936) - a bitter, ironic novel, largely autobiographical. The protagonist is Gordon Comstock, an unrecognized poet, a failed writer, forced to serve in an advertising agency to earn a living. He has a real talent for composing slogans, but his work inspires him with disgust, seems a caricature of literary creativity. He despises material values and the vulgarity of everyday life, symbolized by the ficus on the window. In all his failures he blames money, but proud poverty only leads him into the depths of depression ... Comstock needs to realize that in addition to high art there are simple pleasures, and in the desire to earn money there is nothing shameful. What will save him?
