BBC Radio 4 - Money by Martin Amis, 4: Here's to money

Bertie Carvel continues Amis's savagely funny cult novel that defined the 1980s.

After a spectacularly indulgent night out, Self refocuses on the movie and whether to hire the problematically named Spunk Davis, in the next in Martin Amis's savagely funny novel.

Bertie Carvel continues Martin Amis's electrifying, and savagely funny novel of 1980s excess, featuring the self-destructive anti-hero John Self.

John Self is a consumer extraordinaire.

Rolling between London and New York he closes movie deals and spends feverishly, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography and mountains of junk food.

But John’s excesses haven’t gone unnoted. Menaced by a phone stalker, his dangerously excessive lifestyle is about to bring him face-to-face with the secret of his success.

Today: after a spectacularly indulgent night out, John Self turns his focus back on the film, and whether to hire the problematically named Spunk Davies...
