Absolutely one of the funniest, smartest, meanest books I
know. John Self, the Rabelaisian narrator of the novel, is an
advertising man and director of TV commercials who lurches through
London and Manhattan, eating, drinking, drugging and smoking too
much, buying too much sex, and caring for little else besides
getting the big movie deal that will make him lots of money. Hey,
it was the ''80s. Most importantly, however, Amis in Money musters
more sheer entertainment power in any single se
內容簡介:
The story of John Self and his insatiable appetite for money,
alcohol, drugs, porn and more. Ceaselessly inventive and
thrillingly savage, it is a tale of life lived without restraint;
of money and the disasters it can precipitate.
Hailed as "a sprawling, fierce, vulgar display" The New
Republic and "exhilarating, skillful, savvy" The Times Literary
Supplement when it made its first appearance in the mid- 1980s,
Money is Martin Amis''s hilarious portrait of one man''s relentless
pursuit of pleasure.
