Beskrivning

Tod. T. Friendly is living his life backwards. Doctor Friendly has just died, but after weeks of improving in the hospital, he is sent home to his affable, melting-pot, primary-colour existence in suburban America. From the fresh-cut lawns of his retirement to the hustle of New York, and then the boat back to war-torn Europe, Friendly carries with him a secret. Trapped in his body from grave to cradle, Friendly’s consciousness can only watch as he struggles to make sense of the good doctor’s most ambitious project yet – the final solution.SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE'Amis's most daring and ambitious novel' Daily Telegraph

Recensioner i media

"Amis's backwards world is rigorously imagined. It is a world of pathos and cruel hilarity - but the crux, the test of his vision, is what he does with Auschwitz" -- James Wood Guardian "The devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal. It is, I think, Amis's finest achievement to date" Financial Times "Extraordinary - Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave" Independent on Sunday "An icy, hard read - Amis is at his intriguing, powerful and heedful best" Time Out "Amis's most daring and ambitious novel" Daily Telegraph
