Vintage Literary Novels Editorial Review
In "Time's Arrow," Martin Amis tells the story of a participant in the Holocaust in reverse. The narration and the aging process moves backward with conversations and even taxi rides recounted in backward order. Despite some initial skepticism towards the gimmicky formatting of the novel, reviewers found the experiment thought-provoking and engaging. However, some had issues with the lack of character development and flatness of the main character. The book was also criticized for its inability to fully explore the Holocaust without detracting from Tod Friendly's story. Overall, readers found the book to be "funny" and "dark" with a puzzle-like quality that drew them into the narrative.
