Bowie‘s Books by John O‘Connell ⚡️10 of 100

3 Stars • Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amis (1984) is a satirical novel about John Self, a hedonistic British ad director chasing a film deal between London and New York. His life of excess—booze, drugs, sex, and consumerism—unravels amid betrayals and a mysterious stalker, Frank. ⬇️

suvata Narrated in Self‘s brash voice, the book skewers 1980s materialism with dark humor and metafictional twists, including a character named Martin Amis, exposing Self‘s self-destructive pursuit of wealth.
