...characters have the ring of Restoration comedy, Money owes much of its drive to contemporary American fiction. Unlike most British novelists, Amis projects a large and raucous vision. He seems to have learned his heightened personal voice from Saul Bellow, the humorous uses of inverted logic from Joseph Heller and his naughty bits from Philip Roth.

Each Welty story added a ring to her reputation until today she is treated with the reverence accorded endangered species. Joseph Heller works hard just to keep the standing won nearly 25 years ago with Catch-22. William Burroughs, whose satiric fantasies once thrilled the critics, is hardly reviewed today...
