Enjoy this satire on 80s greed and vulgarity by Martin Amis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Amis). It is narrated by hedonistic slob John Self.
29 years on from its publication in 1984 one can only feel a sense of tiresome dismay that it all played out again and led to the financial crash of 2007/2008. The John Selfs of this world are getting ready to be born even as you read this. Their greed and vulgarity have no end. Have a chuckle at their expense whilst you can.
400 pages in Vintage paperback edition.
