N2  - Martin Amis's self-sufficient, well-wrought fiction demands a comprehensive perspective which highlights the relationship and interconnections between its constituent parts. The writer himself has made this clear through his emphasis on the indissolubility of form and meaning in a narrative which attempts to combine the aesthetic quality with an interpretation of the historical present. It is the purpose of this essay to develop an in-depth analysis of a significant motif, America, in one of Amis's most representative novels, Money: A Suicide Note (1984). Through a formal, symbolical and historical reading of this motif, I will trace how these different readings support each other and open a window to some of Amis's central tropes and topics, such as duality, otherness and the nature of the self in the context of the twentieth century.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
