The Green ManKingsley Amis
ISBN: 9780897332200
Publisher: Academy Chicago Pub Publication Date: 1991 Binding: Softcover This is a unique novel in the author's canon: while it deals with a number of matters such as sex, mortality and faith, the supernatural dominates this brilliant and hypnotic work. Maurice Allington, dissipated, cultivated, paradoxically engaging, is the modern landlord of a medieval coaching inn, The Green Man. As an old inn should, it has a persistent, long-quiescent ghost: Dr Thomas Underhill, a 17th-century practitioner of the black arts and a sexual deviant suspected of two hideous murders. Allington becomes the sole witness to the reappearance of Underhill in the hot summer of 1968, during which he has more mundane distractions: major staff crises, a withdrawn adolescent daughter, middle-aged hypochondria aggravated by twenty years of aggressive drinking, and a compulsion to arrange a romp with himself, his wife and his mistress. Finally, Allington is driven by a series of unpleasant incidents to bring about a climactic confrontation with the supernatural visitant. A cunning blend of terror, suspense, and humor, The Green Man is superb entertainment and a masterly example of the literature of the macabre. |

The Russian GirlKingsley Amis
ISBN: 9780140251722
Publisher: Penguin Group USA Publication Date: 1995 Binding: Softcover Richard Vaisey is a respected scholar specializing in Russian studies when Anna Danilova arrives on campus. A visiting Russian poet with a mission more than literary, Anna challenges his integrity--and his marriage. Richard's beautiful but unspeakably monstrous wife, Cordelia, seeks revenge on he adulterous husband, determined to ruin him by canceling his credit cards and reporting his car as stolen to the police. But Richard must face even further humiliating consequences, for the seductive Anna is also an irremediably bad poet.A captivating battle of the sexes and the conflicting claims of love and integrity--and a pointed satire on art, literature, political correctness, and the gender wall--The Russian Girl is vintage Kingsley Amis: entertaining, thought-provoking, and wittily wise.
