...given another try. "Hey Negrita" fares somewhat better, drawing from Latin and Carribean rhythms which add spice to the otherwise rather mechanical beat. Jagger's voice, strained to cracking and loaded with insinuation, narrates this first person tale of a poor man's encounter with a South American whore. "One last dollar/I've got my pride/I'll cut your balls and I'll tan your hide." Subtle? The Stones always did have a way with words.

...novel takes place about twenty years from now, in a large English manor where four English aristocrats (one with a fear of losing his teeth), three dissolute Americans (including a nymphomaniac and a Timothy Leary type), one whore and one dwarf have gathered for a weekend of debauchery. Given the strange passions of some, sexual ambivalence of others, and a wide range of futuristic drugs, it is not surprising that Amis is able to generate more than two hundred pages of sordid situations...
