  • "London Fields is Amis's murder story for the end of the millennium. The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts. Or is the killer the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch?"

  • "Een schrijver ziet een moord aankomen, volgt de betrokkenen maar raakt gaandeweg zelf bij de handeling betrokken."
  • "Dans une atmosphère sinistre de cauchemar, un récit caustique où l'on suit une jeune femme dans sa recherche d'un meurtrier pour des raisons paradoxales puisqu'elle désire être victime. Gros succès en Angleterre."
  • ""Twenty-fifth anniversary hardcover edition of Martin Amis's acclaimed novel, with a new introduction, chronology, and bibliography"--"
  • ""Martin Amis's most highly regarded novel--a blackly comic murder mystery about a murder that has not yet happened--in a full-cloth hardcover edition with silk ribbon marker. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS. First published twenty-five years ago in 1989, London Fields is considered by many to be Amis's best novel. The narrator is an American writer living in London who has had writer's block for twenty years and is now terminally ill. The other main characters are a bored and wealthy banker, a small-time criminal, and Nicola Six, a young woman who knows she will be murdered a few minutes after midnight on November 5, 1999, and who goes in search of her killer. Set ten years in the future, against a backdrop of environmental and social degradation and the looming threat of world instability and nuclear war, this is a highly unusual mystery with an unexpected twist at the end"--"
  • "Cursed with premonitions since childhood, Nicola forsees her own murder, and sets out to make the two most likely suspects pay in advance for what one of them is going to do to her."
