| Abstract: | A few years ago
I came across Martin Amis` "The Rachel Papers" on a bookcase at home: a
book based on the antics of "Charles Highway, a precociously intelligent
and highly sexed teenager". The narrative proves to be within easy reach
of the reader as Amis, or rather Highway uses wit, humour, crudeness and
a pompous upbringing to explain his way through his mission "to Sleep with
an Older Woman before he turns twenty".
"The Rachel Papers" proved to be an incredibly successful and promising launch to Martin Amis´ career, and as the first book that I had ever read by Amis certainly encouraged me to read on and indeed research more about the man himself. I would like to share my findings with you. |
