Description
Yellow Dog by Martin Amis is a darkly satirical novel exploring the tangled lives of five very different men. Central is Xan Meo, a once-ideal husband whose personality is irreversibly changed after a brutal assault in a London pub garden. Against the backdrop of media manipulation, celebrity scandal, and moral corruption, readers are introduced to a cast that includes the “yellow” journalist Clint Smoker, the hardman Joseph Andrews, and porno tycoon Cora Susan.
Meanwhile, King Henry IX of England struggles with a complex personal life: an incapacitated wife, a Chinese mistress, and a daughter caught in a shocking filmed intrusion. Through sharp social commentary and twisted humor, Yellow Dog examines power, vulnerability, and the dark undercurrents of contemporary British life.
