Lord Souffle
Wiles wrote Lord Soufflé, his first novel, to entertain readers by sharing with them his enjoyment of eccentric people and comical situations. Without being salacious, he aims to deal with sexual encounters openly, explicitly, and humorously.
Young Nelson Leatherby is passionate about powerful motorcycles and fine cars, but women completely confuse him. Lord Soufflé is a story of personal discovery…of comical frustrations, romantic disappointments and delightful victories. He sets out for London, and is soon joined by an old acquaintance, Rafferty Farnsworth, a charming scoundrel who arrives with the Mafia in hot pursuit. Nelson is soon drawn into the resulting turmoil, finding himself surrounded by powerful men and exotic women, in action which moves briskly across Europe. Nelson’s romantic and social ambitions are fulfilled at an intense pace, moving well beyond his wildest dreams.
