"How can one writer hurt another where it really counts -- his reputation? This is the problem facing novelist Richard Tull, contemplating the success of his friend and rival Gwyn Barry. Revenger's tragedy, comedy of errors, contemporary satire. The Information skewers high life and low in Martin Amis's brilliant return to the territory of Money and London Fields ." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1996]


"Martin Amis is an iconic figure. He cracks out memorable sentences like a ringmaster in the circus of the grotesque. He is the good-looking bad guy of late-twentieth-century Eng Lit -- faster on the phrase than any of the other inky cowboys on the streets." --Melvyn Bragg (in the Evening Standard ).


"Review forthcoming..." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1998).
