Description
A new reissue series of Martin Amis's novels to mark his 70th birthday.
The novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film
Amidst the horrors of Auschwitz, German officer, Angelus Thomsen, has found love.
But unfortunately for Thomsen, the object of his affection is already married to his camp commandant, Paul Doll.
As Thomsen and Doll's wife pursue their passion—the gears of Nazi Germany's Final Solution grinding around them—Doll is riven by suspicion. With his dignity in disrepute and his reputation on the line, Doll must take matters into his own hands and bring order back to the chaos that reigns around him.
It is exceptionally brave.... Shakespearean.... It's exciting; it's alive; it's more than slightly mad. As the title suggests, it is dreadfully interesting.

The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis is praised for its daring exploration of harrowing themes through creative writing, distinguishing itself as a profoundly unsettling but stunning narrative. Critics note its verbal virtuosity and moral curiosity, with some considering it one of Amis's best works since London Fields. The novel is described as a mix of cruelty and humour, showcasing Amis's unique prose style while offering a brave, engaging read that is both compelling and provocative.

About the Author
Martin Amis was twenty-three when he wrote his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973). Over the next half century - in fourteen more novels, two collections of short stories, eight works of literary criticism and reportage, and his acclaimed memoir, Experience - he established himself as the most distinctive and influential prose stylist of his generation. To many of his readers, Amis was also the funniest. His intoxicating comedic gifts express a profound understanding of the human experience, particularly its most shocking cruelties, and Amis wrote with pathos and verve on an astonishing range of subjects, from masculinity and movie violence to nuclear weapons and Nazi doctors. His books, which have been translated into thirty-eight languages, provide an indelible portrait and critique of late-capitalist society at the turn of the twenty-first century. He died in 2023.
