Martin Amis

The Pregnant Widow is either being heralded as Mart's return from bad writing to the good stuff we remember him for, or as absolute crap, just a notch above the dreaded Yellow Dog. It all depends on whose reviews you read.

As for me, I'll probably be having a review of up for CS2.com coming out over the summer. It is a good summer read, even though the territory is already well-trod. Michel Houellebecq comes to mind when I read some of the passages about physical peculiarities.

Still, there are some original moments, though I'm not quite sure yet how my review will go down.
