What to expect
London Fields is Martin Amis's 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.
Critics Review
“Adopting a gruff American accent, British actor Steven Pacey captures Sam’s fascination with the characters’ blunders and his barely concealed desire to manipulate their fates. This superb audio treatment of a great novel will appeal to those who enjoy serious fiction that attempts to encompass societal woes without being didactic.”
“A comic murder mystery, an apocalyptic satire, a scatological nmeditation on love and death and nuclear winter…By turns lyrical and nobscene, colloquial and rhapsodic.”
“Relentlessly bitter, often brutally funny, hypnotically readable.”
“A cunning suspense tale of physical and psychic nmayhem…A darkly comic liebestod…Another caustic portrayal of human ndesires…this time heightened by a more deeply sinister and squalid atmosphere.”
