Yellow Dog

A Novel

By: Martin Amis

A riotous, razor-edged satire from one of Britain’s most fearless literary provocateurs.

Xan Meo, a disgraced journalist, becomes entangled in a twisted web of violence, betrayal, and media spectacle after a brutal attack leaves him physically and emotionally shattered. Meanwhile, a gangster with delusions of grandeur orchestrates chaos beneath the surface, and the monarchy itself teeters under the weight of scandal and farce.

Martin Amis’s novel is a dizzying ride through toxic masculinity, tabloid obsession, and the brutal theater of power and celebrity. With prose that crackles with swagger and menace, Yellow Dog confronts a society addicted to spectacle and decay. It’s a savage portrait of a culture where the line between predator and prey is dangerously blurred.

Yellow Dog is a novel not of redemption, but of confrontation—and a vision of contemporary Britain unraveling at the seams.
