Money

Synopsis

Money: A Suicide Note is a 1984 novel by Martin Amis. It follows John Self, an advertising director whose hedonism and compulsive spending propel a chaotic transatlantic film project and a personal unravelling. The novel is based on Amis's experience as a script writer on the 1980 science fiction film Saturn 3. Contemporary and later critics have frequently read the book as a sharp satire of 1980s consumer and media culture. In 2005, Time included Money on its List of the 100 Best Novels published in the English language between 1923 and 2005. The novel was dramatised by the BBC in 2010.
