The Rachel Papers Summary

The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis

The Rachel Papers Reviews

Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving -- Peter Ackroyd
Scurrilous, shameless and very funny * Times Literary Supplement *
Amis's arrogantly assured manner is a formidable weapon, spraying the target with disdainful wit, ingenious obscenity, astute literariness, loathing, lust, anxiety and an all-pervading hyper-self-consciousness * Observer *
Extravagantly sexual...highly enjoyable * Evening Standard *
