Synopsis

J. McGinnerny

"Engaging and hillirious...the prose is wild and precise at the same time, funny and encouraging." -- Boston Globe

About the Author, Martin Amis

Martin Amis carried the nickname of enfante terrible of British literature far past his youthful debut at 24. His novels focus on excesses -- drugs, sex, money -- prompting Christopher Buckley to note in The New York Times in 1995 that his terrain is the junkyard of the human psyche and Mr. Amis is his generation s top literary dog.

"Engaging and hillirious...the prose is wild and precise at the same time, funny and encouraging." -- Boston Globe

James Atlas

"Money is...one of funniest novels I've read since Amis' seniors Lucky Jim. The etonomous Self, rocous, crude, insinuiting, blurts out his tale with the comic way that never flags." -- Vogue
