Combining satire, speculative fiction and social commentary, the novel follows the young Hubert Anvil as he faces a life-altering decision within this vividly reimagined society. Widely regarded as one of Amis's most inventive later works, the book won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for science fiction in 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Alteration, by Kingsley Amis.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Jonathan Cape Ltd, London. 1976 first edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fine green cloth hardback with gilt title to spine.
