My Enemy's Enemy Henry Venmore-Rowland *LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZEA selection of seven short stories set in post WW II England, Kingsley Amis exemplifies social satire at its ironic best. Three of these stories, dealing with members of a British Signal Unit at the end of the war, are humorous in their analysis of the moral and social climate of that time. Three of the remaining stories focus on some peculiarities of civilian life, and the last piece constitutes an unusual venture into science fiction.
