This dark, funny and relentlessly paced Martin Amis novel explores contemporary culture through a gallery of unique - and often unlovely - characters.
Martin Amis’ inventive investigation of a war criminal, which reverses time as one man’s life races backward towards an appalling past.
In Time’s Arrow events occur in a reverse chronology, as time races into the past and the main character becomes younger and younger. The book tells the story of an ex-Nazi, Dr Tod T. Friendly. Friendly is possessed of two separate voices, one running backward from his death, the other running forward, in a vain attempt to flee his inescapable past.
