The Information

First Line:

Cities at night, I feel, contain men who cry in their sleep and then say Nothing. It's nothing. Just sad dreams. Or something like that...

Description:

From the author of London Fields and Time's Arrow comes the story of Richard Tull, a novelist whose literary criticism is the only work to actually see publication. His life is not going well. Now, he has dedicated his life to screwing up the political aspirations of his best friend and bestselling novelist, Gwyn Barry.

Selected Reviews:

"Martin Amis is one of England's finest novelists, and THE INFORMATION is an extraordinary book....THE INFORMATION returns to Amis's over-the-top, all-or-nothing style, which makes your jaw drop when it works, as it nearly always does."

--Walter Kendrick, Word
