Wolfgang Wopperer stopped reading London Fields by Martin Amis
Trying to re-read the book after over 20 years was quite a disappointment – a middle-class narrator looking down on and into the lives of marginalised protagonists felt kind of sleazy, and Amis's overall storytelling is, in the words of a friend, surface all the way down. Another book whose time is clearly over. (Stopped after about ¼.)
