(updated file with the actual episode included)
Amis's second short story collection is diverse in subject, style and antiquity - including a science fiction story that reveals that Earth is unimportant and doomed, a fantasy where poets make big money film deals and screenwriters starve, and a commentary on the way that society has left the old rules of status and masculinity behind, featuring Big Mal Bale who reappears in Yellow Dog. There are short funny stories too.
