...determine which of them were al-Qaeda members. Dressed in blue jeans, with an AK-47 strapped across the back of his black sweater, Spann passed through several rows of Taliban before crouching in front of a prisoner who had been separated from the rest, a mass of tangled hair and tattered clothes once named John Walker. "What's your name?" Spann asked. There was no response. "Hey," he said, snapping his fingers twice in front of Walker's dirt-caked face. "Who brought you here? Wake up! Who brought you here?

...Amis’ intellectual sophistication and distinctive style. Arranged thematically rather than chronologically, Amis counsels the reader to keep an eye on dates throughout the book. Even without looking, it is usually obvious which reviews were written in the 1970s by the editorial assistant Amis (wearing shoulder-length hair, a flower shirt and knee-high tricolored boots), and which reviews are the product of the mellower, graying at the temples, established author of the 1990s.
