really liked it
bookshelves: too-sexy-for-maiden-aunts
Read 2 times. Last read January 1, 1996.


An extremely clever and elegant novel about the subjective nature of success and failure. For once, Amis wraps up the story properly and has a satisfying conclusion.

The sex scene near the end (view spoiler) must rank as both one of the most distasteful and one of the most memorable in recent literature.

Manny I keep thinking about the tennis game too! I agree, it's a really good scene. But it had no effect on my laundry routine, I'm afraid to say.
