Book Summary
London Fields is Martin 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 the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. And as Nicola leads her suitors toward the precipice, London--and, indeed, the entire world--seems to shamble after them, in a corrosively funny narrative of pyrotechnic complexity and scalding moral vision.
