This is the story of John Self, consumer extraordinaire. Rolling
around New York and London, he makes deals, spends wildly and does
reckless movie-world business, all the while grabbing everything he
can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills,
pornography, a mountain of junk food and more. Ceaselessly
inventive and thrillingly savage, this is a tale of life lived
without restraint; of money, the terrible things it can do and the
disasters it can precipitate.

Amis is a maddening master you need to read - the best of his generation" Mail on Sunday "Amis is immaculate as a comic stylist...irresistible" Daily Telegraph "His eloquently rendered inner life shows a richness and tenderness" The Week "A comic opera of excess and humiliation, driven by the punch and panache of Amis's extraordinary prose, Money remains as satirically spot-on as when it was first published" The List
