I think the Man explains his *NT anti-climax- position best in the San Francsico interveiw- brought to us by Goochie-Koochie:
>>PBHurley: Question specific to "Night Train" which I recently read: Even with the clues that Jennifer lays down for her suicide, I found the motivation for her act rather capricious and without compelling reason. Was this by design?<<
Martin Amis: It's capricious but in the deepest sense. It's a way of saying that the best that the planet can offer need not necessarily be good enough. I believe that everything that can happen will happen, and I believe there will be many apparently motiveless suicides in the near future.<<
Luck to you in the future...
