Martin Amis 
Heavy Water And Other Stories [EPUB ebook] 

In Martin Amis’s short stories whole worlds are created – or inverted. In ‚Straight Fiction‘, everyone is gay, apart from the beleaguered ’straight‘ community; in ‚Career Move‘, screenplay writers submit their works to little magazines, while poets are flown first-class to Los Angeles; in ‚The Janitor of Mars‘, a sardonic robot gives us some strange news about life in the solar system. In ‚Let Me Count the Times‘ a man has a mad affair with himself. ‚Heavy Water‘, portrays the exhaustion of working-class culture, and ‚State of England‘ its weird resuscitation. And in ‚The Coincidence of the Arts‘ an English baronet becomes entangled with an African-American chess hustler.
