Description:
Lionel Asbo has just won 139,999,999.50 on the Lottery. A horribly violent, but horribly unsuccessful criminal, Lionels attentions up to now have all been on his nephew, Desmond Pepperdine. He showers him with fatherly advice (carry a knife) and introduces Des to the joys of internet porn. Meanwhile, Des desires nothing more than books, a girl to love and to steer clear Uncle Lis psychotic pitbulls, Joe and Jeff. But Lionels winnings are not necessarily all good news. For Des has a secret, and its discovery could unleash his uncles implacable vengeance. One of Amis’s funniest novels New YorkerA book that looks at us, laughs at us, looks at us harder, closer, and laughs at us harder and still more savagely Observer
