Money cover

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM ANDREW O'HAGAN

John Self is a consumer extraordinaire.


Rolling between London and New York he closes movie deals and spends feverishly, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography and mountains of junk food. But John's excesses haven't gone un-noted. Menaced by a phone stalker, his high-wire, hoggish lifestyle is about to bring him face-to-face with the secret of his success.

'Turbo-charged with savage humour from first to last page... A voice that mesmerised a generation' Guardian

"Amis is still the finest English fiction writer of his generation."
— Sunday Independent

"An electrifying writer who likes to shock his fans and share his sharply contemporary concerns -- Amis is a maddening master you need to read -- the best of his generation."
— Mail on Sunday

"Amis is immaculate as a comic stylist-irresistible."
— Daily Telegraph

"His eloquently rendered inner life shows a richness and tenderness."
Christopher Hitchens, The Week
