Money
Martin Amis
John Self, one of London's top directors of commercials, is in New York making his first feature film. He is also spending money on drink, dope, sex, fast food, and love. After several weeks of major degeneracy, he retreats to London, only to confront new temptations and new terrors.
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 sentence than most writers are lucky to produce in a career.
