The Rub of Time

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Rub of Time is Amis at his considered best, witty, erudite and unafraid... He is sweetly sentimental when it comes to the British royal family (why?), funny about tennis, always brilliant about the body, scorching in his refusal of death, its sorrows and humiliations... He is a great believer in semantic rigour; every sentence snaps with an accuracy that is fresh and fierce... This collection is full of treasures. Anne Enright Guardian
