WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CLAIRE LOWDON Charles Highway is every
mother's worst nightmare. Precociously intelligent, mercilessly
manipulative and highly sexed, Charles devotes the last of his
teenage years to bedding girls and evading the half-arsed overtures
of his distant parents. That is, until, he meets the aloof, wildly
unattainable, Rachel. As Charles's twentieth birthday - and the
Oxford entrance exams - loom, his plans for seducing Rachel will
draw him into a private collection of obsessional notes and
observations: the eponymous 'Rachel Papers'. WINNER OF THE SOMERSET
MAUGHAM AWARD 'Scurrilous, shameless and very funny' The Times
Literary Supplement 'Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing
his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre
way, moving' Peter Ackroyd
