Teška voda i druge priče

Teška voda i druge priče

Martin Amis

In the book Heavy Water, Martin Amis collected his stories that were written over a long period of twenty years, but this fact did not diminish their quality in the least.

These stories are the best examples of how Amis writes, and he writes skillfully, entertainingly, and almost always unpredictably. Whatever he writes about, bad sex, immigrants, robots, Amis writes brilliantly. His hilarious humor occasionally borders on ludicrous, his characters are almost always memorable, his satire is as impressive as his persiflage or irony. It is the stories collected in the book Heavy Water that show how much Martin Amis influenced the younger generation of British novelists, such as Zadia Smith, John Williams, and of course Irvine Welsh. You don't come across stories like this every day.
