Bertie Carvel continues Martin Amis's electrifying, and savagely funny novel of 1980s excess, featuring the self-destructive anti-hero John Self.

John Self is a consumer extraordinaire.

Rolling between London and New York he closes movie deals and spends feverishly, all the while grabbing everything he can to sate his massive appetites: alcohol, tobacco, pills, pornography and mountains of junk food.

But John鈥檚 excesses haven鈥檛 gone unnoted. Menaced by a phone stalker, his dangerously excessive lifestyle is about to bring him face-to-face with the secret of his success.

Today: after a spectacularly indulgent night out, John Self turns his focus back on the film, and whether to hire the problematically named Spunk Davies...
