Rachel fits the bill perfectly and Charles plans his seduction meticulously, sets the scene with infinite care - but it doesn't come off quite as Charles expects...
'Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving', Peter Ackroyd,'Scurrilous, shameless and very funny', Times Literary Supplement .'Amis's arrogantly assured manner is a formidable weapon, spraying the target with disdainful wit, ingenious obscenity, astute literariness, loathing, lust, anxiety and an all-pervading hyper-self-consciousness', Observer
