About This Item
Beautiful copy of this collectable 1989 Martin Amis novel.
The book is in mint condition with grey boards and gold text to the spine, and appears unread.
The unclipped dust-wrapper is bright and clean with no signs of wear, and shows the original price of £12.95. Slight dings are apparent on very close inspection, but all in all it's in beautiful and practically as-new condition.
Synopsis
London Fields is Amis's murder story for the end of the millennium. The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent low-life whose only passions are pornography and darts. Or is the killer the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch? "A comic murder mystery, an apocalyptic satire, a scatological meditation on love and death and nuclear winter...by turns lyrical and obscene, colloquial and rhapsodic."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, from the Trade Paperback edition.
