I'm an admirer of Martin Amis's fiction, particularly his book of short stories titled "Heavy Water."
The short story, "Career Move," is a hilarious send-up of writers of poetry. In a kind of alternate world, one writer of poetry is flown all over the world and treated like a king as he options off a poem for the movies; while scriptwriters, on the other hand, struggle for publication and survival.
If you like slightly surreal fiction that plays with wild ideas, then I can highly recommend this book.
