Yellow Dog by Martin Amis review – Bill Nighy has a ball - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 2003 novel Yellow Dog, Xan Meo is set upon by two men in a pub who cosh him over the head: “Like the statue of a fallen tyrant, he crashed sideways into the damp paving, and lay still.” Meo is a writer and actor whose late father was a dangerous gangster; the attack is in revenge for Meo naming an old associate of his father in print.

Read excerpt
