Review

"Scurrilous, shameless, and very funny."

"Amis shows great promise in his first novel, and this is all the more hopeful since he is laboring under the disadvantage of of having to build his story of romantic mishaps and youthful self-discovery around a peculiarly obnoxious hero."

"It takes a certain comic talent to make Charles the delectably unappetizing creature he is, and Martin Amis has it."

Publisher's note

The narrator of Martin Amis's uproarious first novel is at once a cynical lecher and an abject victim of puppy love--one of the most believable and curiously touching adolescents ever to lust and sniffle his way through the pages of contemporary fiction. New York calls The Rachel Papers "the best teenage sex novel since Goodbye Columbus".

In Amis's first novel, he gives us one of the most noxiously believable--and curiously touching--adolescents ever to sniffle and lust his way through the pages of contemporary fiction. On the brink of twenty, Charles Highway preps desultorily for Oxford, cheerfully loathes his father, and meticulously plots the seduction of a girl named Rachel--a girl who sorely tests the mettle of his cynicism when he finds himself in love with her.

Annotation

This coming-of-age tale--Amis's first novel--follows 19-year-old Charles Highway through the last few hours of his teenage years as he tries to make sense of his short but eventful life.
