As Martin Amis wrote in a 2011 essay for the Times Literary Supplement, “Of the nineteen fictions, no fewer than six wholly or partly concern themselves with the sexuality of prepubescent girls. . . . [T]o be clear as one can be: the unignorable infestation of nymphets . . . is not a matter of morality; it is a matter of aesthetics. There are just too many of them.”
