Synopsis

Named one of Time's 100 best novels in the English language, Money is "savagely hilarious. It risks, it boils with energy . . . it even manages to shock" (The Washington Post).

Including a new introduction by Lorrie Moore, author of I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home

Originally published in 1984, Martin Amis's classic novel Money is a searing critique of late-stage capitalism that remains a poignant and relevant commentary on the trappings of materialism and the illusions of success.

Money is everything. Especially to John Self, a successful commercial director from London. He spends his days steeped in booze and pornography and prostitutes, lost in the hedonistic lifestyle of his peers.

But John has bigger dreams, and he sets off for America on the invitation of the filmmaker Fielding Goodney in the hope of getting his first feature film, titled Good Money, off the ground. It is in America where John must contend with his degenerative proclivities, or risk the life he's built.

Money is Martin Amis at his very best: a hilarious, razor-sharp, and wholly singular storyteller.
