Heavy Water and Other Stories - Martin Amis

KORTE INHOUD

Heavy Water and Other Stories is a literal landscape of Martin Amis's fiction. Once you enter Amis's disorienting and hilarious world, you'll never be the same. Every poem will remind you of "Career Move, " a story in which poets are flown first-class to Hollywood in order to take meetings with sandal-shod producers, to review sales in the millions, while screenwriters struggle in near-oblivion for publication in obscure, unread journals. Never again will you consider communication with extraterrestial life-forms without conjuring apocalyptic images of evil from "The Janitor on Mars." Witness the world of "Straight Fiction, " where everyone is gay except the beleaguered straight community, and our country's "don't ask, don't tell" policy evokes images of Amis's inverted, and outrageous, vision.
