Nominated for the Booker Prize by Martin Amis, the "godfather of literature" in the UK, it is a surreal fable about exposure, murder, love and sex. "London Venue" sets the story in 1999, but the target of satire is still Britain in the 1980s. The story describes the process of a thirty-four-year-old prostitute (Nicola Sickles) about to be killed, "an old story between men and women." The question is: who will kill her? Is it the sleazy liar Keith Tallent, a true London drinker, or the rich, tall, emotionally dependent Guy Clinch? But there was no definite answer to this question until the end. This novel skillfully expresses the "apocalyptic complex" full of death anxiety. Suicide, murder, being killed or raped, these virtual violent images constitute the overall death atmosphere of the novel. The death here is not only the death of the body, but also the death of the spirit, the death of faith, the death of the soul. It is the end of the world, the end of existence, and the suicide of mankind before the catastrophe.
