About this book
Martin Amis’s first novel follows Charles Highway as he approaches his twentieth birthday, prepares for Oxford and attempts to turn his pursuit of Rachel into a carefully organised project. His notes and calculations reveal a young man whose cleverness is no protection against emotional confusion. A sharp comic portrait of adolescence, self-absorption and the unruliness of falling in love.
