✦ Synopsis
One of *Times 100 best novels in the English languageby the acclaimed author of** Lionel Asbo: State of England and London Fields***
Part of Martin Amiss London Trilogy, along with the novel London Fields and The Information, Money was hailed as "a sprawling, fierce, vulgar display" (The New Republic) and "exhilarating, skillful, savvy" (The Times Literary Supplement) when it made its first appearance in the mid-1980s. Amiss shocking, funny, and on-target portraits of life in the fast lane form a bold and frightening portrait of Ronald Reagans America and Margaret Thatchers England.
Money is the hilarious story of John Self, one of Londons top commercial directors, who is given the opportunity to make his first feature filmalternately titled Good Money and Bad Money. He is also living money, talking money, and spending money in his relentless pursuit of pleasure and success. As he attempts to navigate his hedonistic world of drinking, sex, drugs, and excessive quantities of fast food, Self is sucked into a wretched spiral of degeneracy that is increasingly difficult to surface from.
