Listen to a sample

A bloody funny lovely bloody book... A genius at full throttle

A brilliant novel. It is sadly comic and comically sad

He was a genuine comic writer, probably the best after P. G. Wodehouse ... He had a lasting influence and was a very good novelist

In these explicit days, Mr Amis is the laureate of the unsayable, the literary it man

A copy should be given out with every bus pass.
