Having read 'Present Indicative' with some pleasure (especially as it was a contemporary, paper-rationing edition I'd found in a secondhand shop) I was forewarned that 'Future, Indefinite' was very different. Coward is grumpier and much more serious, at times a little pompous in this volume, which covers his experiences of the war years (in 'Present indicative', he sends himself up enough that his attitudes are never irritating).
