Elements of Yellow Dog are ridiculous. It involves a tabloid hack, a mad cockney, a spoof royal family with a manservant called Love ("coming, Love!" chimes the King, a joke that goes back to the Captain Darling gag in Blackadder) and a man who, after receiving a blow to the head, defaults to a pre-middle-class version of himself. It is about death and violence and impotence, and, above all, what Amis calls "the male insecurity problem", a regular theme of his, mixed in with a bit of post-September 11 blather about the end of the world.
"Yellow Dog" é lançado na próxima semana. Resenção e entrevista com Martin Amis, no Guardian.
