About this ebook
With a new introduction by Jeff VanderMeer, this powerful collection of five short stories explores the dangers of nuclear warfare—written by the renowned author of Money and London Fields.
An ex–circus strongman meets his own personal holocaust and “Einsteinian” destiny; maximum boredom and minimum lovemaking are advised in a 2020 epidemic; a virulent new strain of schizophrenia overwhelms the young son of a “father of the nuclear age”; and an immortal being reminisces on the creation—and destruction—of the earth and humankind.
In the five inventive stories collected in Einstein’s Monsters, Martin Amis presents a grotesque, inspired, unsettling vision of a world terrorized by the threat of nuclear warfare and other unthinkable forms of extinction.
