Success

In Success Amis pens a mismatched pair of foster brothers--one "a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude," the other a "bundle of contempt, vanity and stock-response"--in a single London flat. He binds them with ties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy that soars with malicious poetry. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Martin Amis is the best-selling author of several books, including <b>London Fields</b>, <b>Money</b>, <b>The Information</b>, and, most recently, <b>Experience</b>. He lives in London.
