"Money" by Martin Amis
Acrid, pitch-black satire… deeply deeply funny!!!
The narrative acrobatics are startling, Amis is a formidably talented writer. Above all, I’m unlikely to forget the crass, profoundly repulsive, vice-addicted anti-hero protagonist, John Self, in a very very long time. Fantastic!
First item knocked from my goal to read The Observer’s best British, Irish or Commonwealth novels of the last 25 years.
