VersandkostenfreiIn Time's Arrow the doctor Tod T. Friendly dies and then feels markedly better, breaks up with his lovers as a prelude to seducing them, and mangles his patients before he sends them home. And all the while Tod's life races backward toward the one appalling moment in modern history when such reversals make sense.
"The narrative moves with irresistible momentum.... [Amis is] a daring, exacting writer willing to defy the odds in pursuit of his art."--Newsday

Pressestimmen
"[A] novel that seems to have been written with the term 'tour de force' in mind. . . . A brilliant job." Village Voice Literary Supplement
"A breakthrough . . . etched with acid irony and trickery . . . To submit to [Amis's] comic tweaking and tickling is to abet the inevitable logic of his assault on our senses. . . . Time's Arrow, his tautest and sleekest novel yet, is also his most wide-angled and farsighted. . . . A hard look at our dark age through glittering alien eyes." Boston Phoenix Literary Section
"A brilliantly imaginative feat." Mirabella
"Audacious, utterly poised and almost moving . . . the book's devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal. It is . . . Amis's finest achievement to date." Financial Times
"Amis can write prose that is spikily, nervously elegant, full of urgency and surprise." New York
"Prodigious cleverness. . . . A clever book." Vogue
"Extraordinary Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave." Independent on Sunday
"An icy, hard read - Amis is at his intriguing, powerful and heedful best." Time Out
"Amis's most daring and ambitious novel." Daily Telegraph
