A new Vintage Classics edition of Martin Amis's MONEY - 40 years since its first publication

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION FROM ANDREW O'HAGAN

John Self is a consumer extraordinaire.

Rolling between London and New York he closes movie deals and spends feverishly, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography and mountains of junk food. But John's excesses haven't gone un-noted. Menaced by a phone stalker, his high-wire, hoggish lifestyle is about to bring him face-to-face with the secret of his success.

'Turbo-charged with savage humour from first to last page... A voice that mesmerised a generation' Guardian

Praise for Money

Amis is still the finest English fiction writer of his generation

Sunday Independent

An electrifying writer who likes to shock his fans and share his sharply contemporary concerns... Amis is a maddening master you need to read - the best of his generation

Mail on Sunday

Amis is immaculate as a comic stylist...irresistible

Daily Telegraph

His eloquently rendered inner life shows a richness and tenderness

The Week

A comic opera of excess and humiliation, driven by the punch and panache of Amis's extraordinary prose, Money remains as satirically spot-on as when it was first published

The List

Amis's gleeful chronicling of modern squalor was never funnier
