In Success Amis pens a mismatched pair of foster brothers--one "a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude, " the other a "bundle of contempt, vanity and stock-response"--in a single London flat. He binds them with ties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy that soars with malicious poetry.

Review:
"Beautifully constructed to make a coherent, powerful and still fairly unusual statement about changing English society" (Evening Standard)
"An instantly recognizable voice, penetrating, loquacious, slightly hysterical, upsetting, rising above the basso pseudo-profundo babble of his competitors like filed fingernails scraping down glass - Martin Amis is a dazzling phrasemaker" (Sunday Times)
"Amis pulls off his literary feat with panache" (James Buchan Spectator)
