In \"Career Move,\" screenwriters struggle for their art, while poets are the darlings of Hollywood. In \"Straight Fiction,\" the love that dare not speak its name calls out to the hero when he encounters a forbidden object of desire--the opposite sex. And in \"State of England,\" Mal, a former \"minder to the superstars,\" discovers how to live in a country where \"class and race and gender were supposedly gone.\" In Heavy Water and Other Stories, Amis astonishes us with the vast range of his talent, establishing that he is one of the most versatile and gifted writers of his generation."@en .

"Heavy Water and Other Stories is a literal landscape of Martin Amis's fiction. Once you enter Amis's disorienting and hilarious world, you'll never be the same. Every poem will remind you of \"Career Move,\" a story in which poets are flown first-class to Hollywood in order to take meetings with sandal-shod producers, to review sales in the millions, while screenwriters struggle in near-oblivion for publication in obscure, unread journals. Never again will you consider communication with extraterrestial life-forms without conjuring apocalyptic images of evil from \"The Janitor on Mars.\" Witness the world of \"Straight Fiction,\" where everyone is gay except the beleaguered straight community, and our country's \"don't ask, don't tell\" policy evokes images of Amis's inverted, and outrageous, vision."@en . . . . .
