A group of disgruntled septuagenarians prepare for their final days in this dark and very funny English novel about death and the inevitability of growing old (The Observer).Everyone wants a comfortable place to die, and Kingsley Amiss characters have found it in Tuppeny-happeny Cottage, where assorted septuagenarians have come together to see one another out the door of life. Theres grotesque Adela, whose sole passion is her cheapness; her brother Brigadier Bernard Bastable, always strategizing a new retreat to the bathroom before sallying forth to play some especially nasty practical joke; Shorty, the servant, who years ago had a fling with the brigadier in the barracks and now organizes his day around a trail of hidden bottles; George Zeyer, the distinguished professor of history, bedridden and helpless to articulate his still-coherent thoughts; and Marigold, who slowly but surely is forgetting it all.And now it is Christmas. Children and grandchildren are coming to visit their ailing elders. They dont know what lies in store before the story ends. None of us do.Ending Up is a grimly hilarious dance of death, full of bickering, bitching, backstabbing, drinking (of course), and idiocy of all sorts. It is an audiobook about dying people and about a dying England, clinging to its memories of greatness as it succumbs to terminal decay.

Roger Micheldene, an English publisher, is on the loose in the US. He spends an October week shuttling between New York and Budweiser College in Pennsylvania. This exercises all his British appetites snobbery, gluttony, anger, sloth, and lust.But Amis roasts Americans as well and serves us familiar dishes, though in a piquant sauce: the precocious undergraduate author of a far-out novel, an earnest young priest, and an alcoholic literary agents nymphomaniacal wife.
