About this title

Synopsis

A collection of five short stories creating perplexing visions of the post-nuclear-holocaust world, from the author of "The Rachel papers", which won the Somerset Maugham Award.

Review

"A phenomenal writer. He has style as quick and efficient as a flick-knife, and a gift for the grotesque that makes other people's nightmares look like Victorian watercolours" (Sunday Times)

"Amis is first-rate; arguing inventing, demonstrating, parodying, being funny and shocking in the same breath" (Observer)

"Amis's introduction to these five stories is a beautifully judged piece of polemic; a carefully reasoned emotionally charged attack on the unthinkable folly of nuclear war - an elegant, funny, moving book" (Daily Telegraph)
