There is a murderer, there is a murderee, and there is a foil.
Martin Amis was the author of fourteen novels, two collections of stories and eight works of non-fiction. His novel Time's Arrow was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, for which his subsequent novel Yellow Dog was also longlisted, and his memoir Experience won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. In 2008, The Times named him one of the 50 greatest writers since 1945. Amis died in May 2023.
London Fields, its pastoral title savagely inappropriate to its
inner-city setting, vibrates, like all Amis's work, with the force
fields of sinister, destructive energies. At the core of its
surreal fable are four figures locked in lethal alignment
*Sunday Times*
I love reading novels about the city but this is my favourite. It
manages to incorporate the seedy and the middle class Notting Hill
side of the capital, all in one glorious unputdownable novel
*Daily Express*
An electrifying writer who likes to shock his fans and share his
sharply contemporary concerns... Amis is a maddening master you
need to read - the best of his generation
*Mail on Sunday*
