Money

An anti-hero to beat them all, John Self is a dissipated connoisseur of self-gratification. Addicted to porn, fast-food and money, he lives a culture-less high-life in New York and London, groping his way through a world of all-day hangovers, barely remembered debaucheries and desires that are both pointless and insatiable. In this hilariously grotesque black comedy Amis explores the back streets of the global money conspiracy and explains, in his own unique way, why the men who shape our world are no longer to be trusted.
