Amis on top form. An intoxicating comedy about youth, the 1970s, the sexual revolution and its aftermath.
Martin Amis was the author of fourteen novels, two collections of stories and eight works of non-fiction. His novel Time's Arrow was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, for which his subsequent novel Yellow Dog was also longlisted, and his memoir Experience won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. In 2008, The Times named him one of the 50 greatest writers since 1945. Amis died in May 2023.
No one better understands the cosmic joke that is humanity. Nor is
anyone as funny telling it
*Observer*
One of the funniest books I've read in a long time
*Psychologies*
Read it: it is hilarious, often wonderfully perceptive,
uncompromisingly ambitious and written by a great master of the
English language
*Financial Times*
Moving and humane... I love this novel... It is beautifully
achieved, cunningly relaxed, and reveals considerable emotional
depth
*Daily Telegraph*
The best novelist of his generation
*Independent*
