A Bit Off the Map, and Other Stories is a 1957 collection of eight short stories written by Angus Wilson.
Background
The book is Wilson's third collection of short stories. It takes its title from the first story included in the collection.
Stories
The stories in A Bit Off the Map include "A Flat Country Christmas", "Once A Lady", and "More Friend Than Lodger". Wilson reveals the motives behind the pompous behaviour of his characters. The stories intersperse the ironic, as a way of deflating the premises of the facades the characters have erected.
