London Fields Lib/E
Description
London Fields is Martin Amis' murder story for the end of the millennium.
The murderee is Nicola Six, a black hole of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts, or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London-and, indeed, the whole world-seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

Reviews
An uninhibited high-energy performance...[Amis] is one of the most gifted novelists of his generation.
-- "Time"A comic murder mystery, an apocalyptic satire, a scatological meditation on love and death and nuclear winter...By turns lyrical and obscene, colloquial and rhapsodic.
-- "New York Times"Relentlessly bitter, often brutally funny, hypnotically readable.
-- "Publishers Weekly"A cunning suspense tale of physical and psychic mayhem...A darkly comic liebestod...Another caustic portrayal of human desires...this time heightened by a more deeply sinister and squalid atmosphere.
-- "Booklist"
