Love him or hate him (I can't help l-o-v-i-n-g him!), it's hard to avoid Martin Amis right now, what with his new return-to-form novel, The Pregnant Widow, just out and a brand new adaptation of his 80s treatise on excess, Money, about to hit the small screen in April.
Mad Men slimeball Pete Campbell (in real life the rather affable thesp Vincent Kartheiser) plays the part of the duplicitous Fielding Goodney who tempts hero John Self into a Faustian pact with the American movie lifestyle and much chaos ensues.
If you haven't yet caught up with either the new Amis or Money , you will, of course, find both nestling on the shelves at West End Lane Books, and very fine they are too.
Money is on BBC 2 this April.
