Another Leg in the Pipeline is a humorous but fictional diary of the general manager of a leading life insurance company in Asia. Anyone who works in the insurance sector - or anyone who has had an unpleasant experience with an insurer - should find it entertaining.
The diary chronicles the day-to-day interactions of the subject, Phteven, and the various flotsam and jetsam of the insurance world - including regulators, actuaries, in-house counsel, HR, the media and reinsurers. The diary manages to poke fun at the pomposity of many in the insurance sector - particularly those who make their annual pilgrimages to Monte Carlo and Baden-Baden for 'work'.
For avid readers, this is actually the second diary from Phteven - the first was published almost two decades ago in the book 'Licking a Tramp', which chronicled Phteven's time as a marketing executive in the banking sphere in the Middle East.
Readers of that volume will see that Phteven has matured a little - but not much - and that this new area of the financial services arena offers as much scope for gentle ridicule and brutal observation.
