Book description
This is the story of John Self, consumer extraordinaire. Rolling around
New York and London, he makes deals, spends wildly and does reckless
movie-world business, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate
his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography, a mountain
of junk food and more. Ceaselessly inventive and thrillingly savage,
this is a tale of life lived without restraint; of money, the terrible
things it can do and the disasters it can precipitate. Martin Amis is
the author of thirteen previous novels, the memoir
Experience
, two collections of stories and six collections of non-fiction, most
recently The Second Plane
. He lives in New York.
