The murderee is Nicola Six, a 'black hole' of sex and self-loathing who is intend on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honourable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. And as Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London - and, indeed, the whole world - seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.©1989 Martin Amis (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Belletristik Thriller

I stuck with it till chapter 10 but had to give up at some point because of a mixture of disgust (misogynistic, violent) and confusion (rambling, story in a story).
It could be that the book was so firmly rooted in its time (1980s) that it felt dated, pretentious and wrong reading it now? Or was it never a good book in the first place?
On a positive note: the narrator was excellent and managed to bridge the extremes of London criminal slang, upper class gent, mysterious femme fatale and brash NY writer.

A rare DNF for me
