Fuelled by innumerable cigarettes, Martin Amis provides dazzling
portraits of contemporaries and mentors alike: Larkin and Rushdie;
Greene and Pritchett; Ballard and Burgess and Nicholson Baker; John
Updike - warts and all. Vigorously zipping across to Washington, he
exposes the double-think of nuke-speak; in New Orleans the
Republican Convention gets a going over. And then there's sport: he
visits the world of darts and its disastrous attempt to clean
itself up; dirty tricks in the world of chess; and some brisk but
vicious poker with Al Alvarez and David Mamet. Sex without Madonna,
expulsion from school, a Stones gig that should have been gagged,
on set with Robocop or on court with Gabriela Sabatini, this is
Martin Amis at his electric best.
