Chronicle As Books Dead Babies

If the Marquis de Sade were to crash one of P.G. Wodehouse's house parties, the chaos might resemble the nightmarishly funny goings-on in this novel by the author of London Fields. The residents of Appleseed Rectory have primed themselves both for a visit from a triad of Americans and a weekend of copious drug taking and sexual gymnastics. There's even a heifer to be slugged and a pair of doddering tenants to be ingeniously harassed. But none of these variously bright and dull young things has counted on the intrusion of "dead babies" — dreary spasms of reality. Or on the uninvited presence of a mysterious prankster named Johnny, whose sinister idea of fun makes theirs look like a game of backgammon.

Commentary Out Of Books Dead Babies

Pretty awful. This is the third Amis novel I've read in ten years. The man clearly hates people. Remember Keith Talent - a really contemptuous proto-'Chavs' portrait of working class people? Well, here's Keith Whitehead, a contemptuous portrait of... short, fat people. Characters don't have to be nice, I know - but here they're hateful and flat and they just don't exist anywhere. Reading about them is corrosive. The only thing I'm grateful for is the one-liner about people, which I've since

According to Martin Amis, 25 is the age at which I set aside childish things and become a wholly wretched person. I will move into a posh house in the country with my fratish friends and our pretty but willingly vapid chicks. Like all good-looking young people, we will leech off our nebbish but rich housemate, using his seemingly endless funds to maintain a continually bacchanal existence. When we are not rolling the next joint, snorting one more line, popping open one more bottle of champagne,

Those books.Martin Amis is a master of debauchery, depravity and douchebaggery. Amis second novel, Dead Babies, is well-written, dark and hysterical at times. That being said, his novels often contain characters that though wildly entertaining, elicit little or no sympathy from the reader. Dead Babies is no exception.Perhaps Lucy Littlejohn, the golden-hearted whore as we are told even before the novel starts, is sympathetic. She at least has a heart as evidenced by her staying with Keith at the

Great fun! A wonderful book to read aloud to the children!

A number of the unimpressed noted recently that 2010's The Pregnant Widow is similar to Marty's earlier novel Dead Babies. This observation is grounds for drug testing in my book. Dead Babies is a veering gonzo, assault on the senses. Screams from the asylum compete with boozy sadism and a taunt of the bedroom farce which Iris Murdoch was accomplishing at the time (1975). Amis even makes snort in the direction of Iris, for the sake of form, mind you. Dead Babies is Houellebecq on acid. The

Rich narcissistic drugs addicts lounge around, fuck lasciviously, say nasty things to one another, harangue an elderly couple, and shoot crows because it's fun.In this early novel Amis tries to establish a vague theme by having one of the characters mention dead babies now and again. but really there's nothing worthwhile going on here.Trite and pretentious, the worst I've read by Amis, whose writing I like quite a lot.If you're sick of the Rimbaud reading, coke-snorting brats seen in anything by

A horribly well written book populated by horrible arseholes being unspeakably horrible to each other, in and out of the bedroom and in between times being horrible to neighbours, visitors and local wild life.
