NEW MARTIN AMIS
“This remarkably tedious new novel by Martin Amis…” Awesome. If Kakutani hates it, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll love it. Only Liesl Schillinger, whose sour-smug review of Peter Hoeg’s magnificent The Quiet Girl breezily and speciously claimed its narrative “lurches toward pedophilia,” annoys me more as far as NY Times reviewers go. Can’t wait!

On the other hand, MK’s review of the excellent House of Meetings was actually positive, so it’s not *totally* inconceivable that this new one is actually as bad as she says it is.
just read a very positive review in New York magazine
thanks, hadnt seen that yet. “a sex novel about sex.” wonder what katie roiphe will think.

“Remarkably tedious” is sorta cool.
I’m also looking forward to this. “London Fields” will always be one of my favorites. One of the best apocalyptic novels ever.

On the other hand Martin Amis a reactionary fuckwit in his prose and in his politics.
