Synopsis:
An international financier and his young apprentice form the center of a wickedly acute story of capitalism run amuck, in a society in which consumerism, violence, and psychosis are the norm and the human soul becomes the ultimate product. 25,000 first printing.
Review:
'This is a brilliant first novel, obscene, funny, opulently written, and, of course, agonisingly moral' (Observer)
'No one else I can think of writes about contemporary Britain with such elan, energy and witty intelligence. Rejoice' (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian)
'Written with diabolical gusto and skill' (Evening Standard)
'Vastly entertaining' (The Times)
