Items related to House of Meetings
An extraordinary, harrowing, endlessly surprising novel from a literary master. In 1946, two brothers and a Jewish girl fall into alignment in pogrom-poised Moscow. The fraternal conflict then marinates in Norlag, a slave-labor camp above the Arctic Circle, where a tryst in the coveted House of Meetings will haunt all three lovers long after the brothers are released. And for the narrator, the sole survivor, the reverberations continue into the new century. Format: 10,5 sm x 17,5 sm.

Review:
Everything is presented with Amis's customary élan and intelligence (M John Harrison Guardian)
It is difficult not to be impressed by this compact tour de force... Amis has produced a memorable novel and a memorable protagonist (Toby Lichtig Observer)
Undeniably, distinctively identifiable, vintage Martin (Tim Martin Independent on Sunday)
Unmistakably Amis's best novel since London Fields ... a slender, moving novel, streaked with dark comedy (Robert Macfarlane Sunday Times)
The novel has a cumulative power and resonates with many reflections about the course of individual destiny in a profoundly cruel universe (Douglas Kennedy The Times)

Bound to be a major literary event, Martin Amis's new novella is both pertinent and provocative.
