One of the defining novels of the excess and individualism of the 1980s, Amis' cautionary tale of a grotesquely avaricious commercials director delivers shocking set pieces and scabrous belly laughs on every page.
John Self is a consumer extraordinaire.
Rolling between London and New York he closes movie deals and spends feverishly, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography and mountains of junk food.
But John's excesses haven't gone unnoted. Menaced by a phone stalker, his high-wire, hoggish lifestyle is about to bring him face-to-face with the secret of his success.
