"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, The New
York Times
"Amis has trumped himself. . . . A complex and daring work that
contains many passages of comic genius that can hardly be matched
in English fiction since Dickens." —Newsday
"Amis' prose is hiw own: slangy, showy, knowing, with pinball
rhythms. . . . [London Fields] is wickedly good." —Philadelphia
Inquirer
"London Fields is Martin Amis' most ambitious, intelligent and
nourishing novel to date. . . . Amis is hilariously eloquent."
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Amis is a brilliant entertainer who knows how to wrap his anger at
the terminal horrors of contemporary life in a movelike montage of
varying styles and voices." —Newsweek
"A literary, funny, elaborate novel marinated in sex." —Wall Street
Journal
"I Am one of many readers who thought that Money was the novel of
the '80s, the book that captured the obscene greed of a decade.
Now, with London Fields, Amis has published what may stand as the
definitive end-of-the-millennium novel." —USA Today
"Amis is a clever, skillful writer, and London Fields displays his
range of talents well." —San Francisco Chronicle
"His novel is a great act of generosity, a capacious and
intelligent book that announces the author's importance in the
arena of contemporary literature." —Vogue
