Martin Amis’ inventive investigation of a war criminal, which reverses time as one man’s life races backward towards an appalling past."The devastatingly sustained black irony stands in comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal.

Friendly is possessed of two separate voices, one running backward from his death, the other running forward, in a vain attempt to flee his inescapable past."The narrative moves with irresistible momentum…. [Amis is] a daring, exacting writer willing to defy the odds in pursuit of his art."  –NewsdayMartin Amisis the author of fourteen novels, two collections of stories and eight works of non-fiction.  His novel Yellow Dog was longlisted for the Booker Prize, and his memoir Experience won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
