Success

Terry is short, dumpy, and terminally lust-lorn. Greg is posh, handsome, and universally desired. In this deliriously funny pressure cooker of a novel, Martin Amis pens these mismatched foster brothers in a single flat, binds them withties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy whose trajectory approaches that of malicious poetry. 224p.
