Book: Money, Martin Amis. First pub 1984 Vintage. This Ed. Vintage 2005 pbk.
Why: Martin Amis has a way of putting things and I can’t help but be envious. This is really one of my favourite books.
We banked, and hit a deep welt or grapple-ridge in the road: to the sound of a riffle-shot the cab roof ducked down and smacked me on the core of my head. I really didn’t need that, I tell you…
pg1.
I read half of Amis’ The Rachel Papers last year and then left the book at my brother’s university digs. So I decided to move on to The Old Devils by his old man. The Amises knew how to write.
