«Money: A Suicide Note» is Martin Amis's satirical novel, published by Penguin in paperback (400 pages, in English).
John Self, a dissipated hedonist addicted to pornography, fast food and money, moves between New York and London in a spiral of excess, alcohol and shady business. Martin Amis portrays this antihero as the heir to an empty consumer culture and wraps him in a black comedy about corruption, self-destruction and the global conspiracy of money, where the powerful who shape the world no longer inspire trust.
The novel was originally published in 1984; the English-language edition from Penguin Books was published on 27 March 1986.
For readers of literary fiction and black humour interested in social satire and criticism of consumer culture.
