    Kingsley Amis Examines Death, the Afterlife and Other Serious Topics While Still Managing to Be Funny
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2014*

This is a modern gothic tale. A ghost story with a bit of randiness thrown in. A story set in a pub in the suburbs of Cambridge that raises questions about death, sexuality and the afterlife but Amis does so with a wink to the reader about his own devices. My favorite example is on page 189 where he demonstrates an ability to work in a laugh at himself :" an inability to leave even the most utilitarian sentence unadorned by some verbal frill or knob or curlicue......... Oh well, what had I expected ? The thing was a novel " This humor in his writing is incredibly weaved into a part of the story dealing with quite serious adult matters and for me shows an author who was very much in command of the tone he wanted to achieve with a story that could have been quite dark in the hands of a lesser writer.This along with Lucky Jim are the two Amis novels I have tackled so far but I will certainly visit his other works. I thoroughly enjoyed both.

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2017*

It's a ghost tale, but the background story of the family and friends is more interesting than the arbitrary supernatural stuff. That knocks off a star for me, but the narrator's wit, urbanity, cynicism and obliviousness to the reality of the people in his life, all combine to make him a priceless character.

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2016*

Kingsley em'er ef'in Amis, man. How on earth does this genius of a man make this book as scary as he does and keep it interesting when the protagonist is such a low-down train wreck and most of what is happening may not actually be happening at all? I took notes. Not kidding. When I found myself getting a little too worried for him or too tense to keep reading, I would walk it off. But I kept the page dog-eared for later analysis.As a side note, the only other book to ever mess with my mind that way, even though I have lots of favourite pot-boiling authors, was The Crying of Lot 49, without the same horror without the horror style of fear factor. And even Joaquin Phoenix shaggy mug can't dissuade me that Thomas Pynchon is a genius.Also, this book made me rethink my poor opinion of Claret, especially in a cool weather setting. By the end, I was wanting to pull up a chair and stay up all night with the proprietor of the Green Man. On the list of all-time favourites, and I can't believe I couldn't find it in any local or even locally corporate bookstores. Shame on them. A win for A-zon. A classic.
