Description

When it comes to getting rich, one option is to marry someone who already is. But what if you're not yet in that position? For TV chat-show host Ronnie Appleyard, the answer lies with wealthy heiress Simona Quick.

As he pursues her across two continents, Ronnie encounters a cast of characters who embody the excesses and absurdities of the wealthy elite. But as he gets closer to his prize, other questions arise: is Simona's androgynous nature worth it? Why does she seem to dislike sex? And can one person really drink all day?

With his sharp eye for satire, Kingsley Amis explores what happens when money meets naked ambition. A witty and insightful exploration of class and desire, I Want It Now is a humorous and thought-provoking read.
