false <![CDATA[The Information]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223665199m/380017.jpg 380017 17 Fame, envy, lust, violence, intrigues literary and criminal--they're all here in The Information. How does one writer hurt another writer? This is the question novelist Richard Tull mills over, for his friend Gwyn Barry has become a darling of book buyers, award committees, and TV interviewers, even as Tull himself sinks deeper into the sub-basement of literary failure. The only way out of this predicament, Tull believes, is the plot the demise of Barry. "With The Information, Amis delivers a portrait of middle-age realignment with more verbal felicity and unbridled reach than [anyone] since Tom Wolfe forged Bonfire of the Vanities."--Houston Chronicle 809435 1995 The Information total:791|5:175|4:279|3:220|2:90|1:27| 791 2858 1122 72 5 5 false false Tue Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Jul 11 13:10:13 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 14 00:59:04 -0700 2008
