About The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis
Published in 1973, Martin Amis’s first novel follows nineteen-year-old Charles Highway as he prepares, somewhat unenthusiastically, for Oxford and plans the seduction of Rachel, an older girl who unsettles his carefully maintained cynicism.
Classified as English fiction, black comedy, and a novel about man-woman relationships, The Rachel Papers focuses on adolescent ambition, sexual behavior, and the uneasy movement from calculated desire toward genuine feeling. It may appeal to readers interested in British fiction, sharply comic portrayals of teenage boys, and relationship-centered novels.
