NYRB Classics: Ending Up by Kingsley Amis (2015, Paperback).
"Ending Up" by Kingsley Amis is a darkly comedic novel about a group of elderly residents living together in Tuppeny-happeny Cottage as they face the realities of aging and death. The story explores their interactions, bickering, and the absurdities of their final days, blending humor with poignant reflections on life.
Ending Up is a grimly hilarious dance of death, full of bickering, bitching, backstabbing, drinking (of course), and idiocy of all sorts. It is a book about dying people and about a dying England, clinging to its memories of greatness as it succumbs to terminal decay.
