Martin Amis

TL;DR: A selection of reviews and essays by Martin Amis, written over the past quarter-century as mentioned in this paper, contains pieces on a wide range of writers, from Cervantes to John Updike, and covers such subjects as chess, nuclear weapons, masculinity, Andy Warhol, Hillary Clinton and Margaret Thatcher.

TL;DR: Time's Arrow as mentioned in this paper tells the story, backwards, of the life of a Nazi war criminal, Doctor Tod T. Friendly, whose consciousness escapes from the body of the dying doctor who had worked in Nazi concentration camps and begins living the doctor's life backwards.

TL;DR: Self is the shameless heir to a fast-food culture where money beats out an invitation to futile self-gratification as discussed by the authors, and is embroiled in the corruption, the brutality and the obscenity of the money conspiracy.

TL;DR: Koba the Dread as discussed by the authors is the successor to Amis's celebrated memoir, Experience, which addresses itself to the central lacuna of twentieth-century thought: the indulgence of communism by Western intellectuals.
