About this listen

 John Self is addicted to life. Porn freak and jetsetter, a aficionado of wealth and women, Self is the shameless heir to a fast-food culture where money beats out an insistent invitation to futile self-gratification. Out in New York, mingling with the mighty, making a fortune but spending more, Self is embroiled in the corruption, the brutality, and the obscenity of the money conspiracy.©1984 Martin Amis (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Dark Humour Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire Money Funny Witty

Critic reviews

"Terribly, terminally funny; laughter in the dark, if ever I heard it." (The Guardian)

"This is my first Martin Amis...John Self, the narrator, a mega-rich yob who makes TV commercials, has rotten teeth too, beats up women and plays tennis chess, not tennis, with Martin Amis, He's also very, very funny. I'd better read another." (The Guardian)

This is a fantastic audio version of Martin Amis' masterpiece. Steven Pacey is perfect for 'Money' and does the insane chaos that is John Self's existence full justice with his performance here. Like no other book you will ever read. the prose is genius, laugh out loud funny with more quotable lines than you will ever be capable of recalling.
