Dead Babies [Paperback]

"It's transfixing... At first it's funny. It teases, exaggerates, deliberates. Then it becomes ferocious, stricken, moving." - "The Times"
"Viciously funny, at once a hilarious joke and a technical triumph." -- "Financial Times"
"Sparkling might not be the first adjective that springs to mind to describe a novel packed with the concentrated disgust which Dead Babies contains. Nevertheless, Martin Amis's version of the bleak and wrecky future that awaits a sex-and-drug-addicted society is so fizzing with style, so busy with verbal inventiveness, that the adjective is impelled upon one." -- Julian Barnes --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
