Original. 25,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.
âAmis throws off more provocative ideas and images in a single paragraph than most writers get into complete novels.â âThe Seattle Times
Equally at home in satirical novels and biting critical essays, wickedly funny short stories and intimate autobiography, Martin Amis is widely regarded as one of the most influential yet inimitable voices in contemporary fiction, a writer whose prose captures the warp-speed rush of modernity.
Vintage Amis displays this versatility in an excerpt from the authorâs award-winning memoir, Experience; the âHorrordayâ chapter from London Fields; a vignette from his novel Money; the stories âState of England,â âInsight at Flam Lake,â and âCoincidence of the Artsâ; and the essays âVisiting Mrs. Nabokov,â âPhantom of the Opera.â
Also included, for the first time in book form, the short story âPornoâs Last Summer.â
