I recall some article in the Guardian describing him as the finest writer of his day.  This was too much for one reader who basically said "f**k off- his writing is impenetrable".  I would agree.  I struggled to get past page 1.

For anyone interested in science fiction and especially time travel, my recommendation would be "Timescapes".  a wonderful collection of time travel stories including Isaac Asimov.

All of these stories, the Martin Amis story was definitely the most challenging.  

Regardless - the book is great all the same.

Been waiting for a Jeremy Irons joke.
