Success - Tapa dura

Doomed to a mediocre existence, Terry suddenly finds his fortunes reversed with Gregory Riding, the rich and powerful foster brother he hates

cess Amis pens a mismatched pair of foster brothers--one "a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude," the other a "bundle of contempt, vanity and stock-response"--in a single London flat. He binds them with ties of class hatred, sexual rivalry, and disappointed love, and throws in a disloyal girlfriend and a spectacularly unstable sister to create a modern-day Jacobean revenge comedy that soars with malicious poetry.
