Synopsis
"Beautifully constructed to make a coherent, powerful and still fairly unusual statement about changing English society." Evening Standard

From the Inside Flap
cess Amis pens a mismatched pair of foster brothers--one "a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude," the other a "bundle of contempt, vanity and stock-response"--in a single London flat. He binds them with ties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy that soars with malicious poetry.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
