Martin Amis Reading at BookCourt Tonight

Bibliophiles take note: World-renowned author and Cobble Hill resident will be celebrating the release of his latest page-turner, Lionel Asbo: State of England, Monday evening at neighborhood book shop .

Carole Midgley of The Times [U.K.] calls it "a story about the triumph of education over ignorance, love over hate."

Meanwhile, Publishers Weekly compares it to "a gleefully twisted Great Expectations...," then continues with more praise for the author:

" adopts a big, playful storytelling voice in this book. He riffs like a jazz master, in and out of vernacular, with brief gusts of description, all driven by a tight bass line of suspense." 

Get a taste for yourself tonight. The release party will begin at 7 p.m. and will include a reading, audience Q&A and book signing.
