One Fat Englishman by Kingsley Amis
For a long time, I held a belief that fiction or nonfiction for that matter doesn’t make one a better person but this one made me a better me.
Laugh out loud funny sometimes but amusing all the way. Deeper and intellectual than I expected (in the beginning). Tbh, I thought it would be a silly comic novel, but it made me reflect on my personal history a lot. Even though I’m neither English Nor fat (yay) it was a relatable read.The characters felt genuine , individual and honest. This book can recommend to novice and veterans.
The good thing that stood out about Amis writing/style was the way he connected paragraphs. He would invoke a minor cliffhanger at the end of a para that would be answered in the first line of next paragraph. This might be even more appreciated by people with small attention spans.
Even though it is told via 3rd person but there’s not much difference between the narrator and our main guy.Sometimes it got a crammed up but is a nonissue. It’s a short read with about 190 pages.
What’s the damn book about? = it’s about One Fat Englishman. Go in blind.
