The Rachel Papers is Martin Amis' first novel, published in 1973 by Jonathan Cape. It won the Somerset Maugham Award in 1974 and in 1989 was made into a film by the same name, starring Dexter Fletcher and Ione Skye.

Plot introduction

It tells the story of a bright, egotistical teenager (which Amis acknowledges as autobiographical)[citation needed] and his relationship with the eponymous girlfriend in the year before going to university.
