A stunning structural inversion turns the Holocaust into a German crusade to restore the Jewish faith. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Time's Arrow the doctor Tod T. Friendly dies and then feels markedly better, breaks up with his lovers as a prelude to seducing them, and mangles his patients before he sends them home. And all the while Tod's life races backward toward the one appalling moment in modern history when such reversals make sense. Review:"The narrative moves with irresistible momentum.... [Amis is] a daring, exacting writer willing to defy the odds in pursuit of his art." Newsday Review:"Remarkable...Amis is a writer of wit...a book rich in poignancy and savage indignation." The New York Times Book Review Review:"A devastating specific portrait of the Nazis' warped mentality...a virtousic...performance." The New York Times Review:"Splendid...bold...Time's Arrow is Martin Amis's most thrilling book...gripping from start to finish." Lost Angeles Times Book Review Review:"Prodigious cleverness...a brilliant book." Vogue Review:"Audacious, utterly poised and almost moving...the book's devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal. It is...Amis's finest achievement to date." Financial Times About the AuthorMartin Amis is the best-selling author of several books, including London Fields, Money, The Information, and, most recently, Experience. He lives in London.
