Description



Book Synopsis



Martin Amis delivers a rapid-fire, hilariously sharp collection that skewers everything from politics to celebrity, all while weaving unforgettable tales of adventure, absurdity, and insight.

In this sharp, fast-paced collection, Martin Amis invites readers on a whirlwind of both literal and intellectual adventures. From topless sunbathing to airplane crashes and nuclear holocausts, he skewers everything with his signature humor and razor-sharp wit. Whether he's kicking a soccer ball with Elton John in China or perfecting a dart throw in a chaotic London pub, Amis delivers an unforgettable mix of insight, laughter, and keen observations.

With biting precision, Amis takes on everything from American politics--slamming the Reagan years as an eight-year blackout--to the absurdities of celebrity and the world of chess. An afternoon with Vera Nabokov offers a candid reflection on her late husband's towering literary legacy, while his dissection of sport reveals a Zen-like quest for perfection that's as amusing as it is enlightening.

Amis is as subversive as ever, using language with dazzling flair to entertain, provoke, and entertain again. Visiting Mrs. Nabokov is a zippy, irresistible dive into Amis's world--perfect for newcomers or longtime fans looking for that spark of insight and wit that only he can provide.
