The Rachel Files (martin Amis)
About This Novel
"Literary genius" Martin Amis's genius debut novel won the "Maugham Literary Award", comparable to "The Catcher in the Rye". In the ever-changing adolescence, at the crossroads of destiny, one night is enough to change a young man's life. The adolescent Charles Heway was intelligent, knowledgeable, sensitive and prudent, and had a dream of being a writer. When he was about to celebrate his twentieth birthday and was about to enter Oxford University, he remembered his first love in the complete "Rachel Papers" he recorded. Charles, who was restless in his youth, met the beautiful, sexy, mature and restrained Rachel at a party. He was deeply attracted and could not extricate himself. In order to get Rachel, Charles began to make careful plans from shallow to deep, slowly unfolding and step by step. Soon Rachel fell into the web of love he had carefully woven, so they indulged, caroused, and unscrupulously devoured their seemingly eternal and touching youth. But when this love "full of desire and passion" slowly began to calm down, Charles was unable to store his "noble" and "fragile" love in the vulgar and ugly reality. After the midnight of his crazy and indulgent youth, he could not escape the dark night of the adult world. The entire story spans only one night. In the constant memories, associations and flashbacks, in the dream full of desire, joy, confusion and cruelty, the "youth" described by Amis is fully revealed.
