The Russian Girl
| Kingsley Amis
| Kingsley Amis's newest novel begins like an academic romp but soon moves into territory that Amis has made triumphantly his own - the battle of the sexes and the conflicting claims of love and integrity. The Russian Girl is a love story, but as always with Kingsley Amis, it develops through a variety of hilarious scenes and characters. Art, literature, political correctness, and the gender war all come under the award-winning writer's seasoned scalpel, as do a cast of characters that range from the haplessly high-minded to the hilariously odd.
