PS: Time
Another potential problem with Amis's novel and its irony is that it's potentially very conservative. By showing the horror of the Holocaust backwards, isn't he saying that America really is so much better because we try to help people. Not that there is no truth to that, but it seems to simplistically deny the destruction that the US has also inflicted on the world (ie, the narrator barely mentions the atomic bomb!)
