Em Os Papéis de Rachel, Charles Highway é o jovem precoce, inteligente e altamente sexuado, que lida com raparigas como o faz com a literatura — de forma sistemática. Enche pastas e pastas com observações, estudos e outras maneiras de levar mulheres para a cama. O livro de estreia de Amis pode funcionar como um contraponto da sua mais recente obra, a Viúva Grávida (publicado pela Quetzal), em que se rememoram e dissecam os costumes dos anos que iniciaram a década de 1970, à distância e com o desassombro de uma idade avançada.

Martin Amis
Martin Louis Amis (born 25 August 1949) is an English novelist. His best-known novels are Money (1984) and London Fields (1989). He has received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his memoir Experience and has been listed for the Booker Prize twice to date (shortlisted in 1991 for Time's Arrow and longlisted in 2003 for Yellow Dog). Amis served as the Professor of Creative Writing at the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester until 2011.The Times named him in 2008 as one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945. Amis's work centres on the apparent excesses of late-capitalist Western society, whose perceived absurdity he often satirises through grotesque caricature; he has been portrayed as a master of what the New York Times called "the new unpleasantness".Inspired by Saul Bellow, Vladimir Nabokov, and James Joyce, as well as by his father Kingsley Amis, Amis himself went on to influence many successful British novelists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including Will Self and Zadie Smith.
