- Take The Alteration by Kingsley Amis. Although a
- mainstream writer, Amis has a long association with
- science fiction, and his book portrays modern day
- England without the reformation. The Catholic Church
- still holds sway, and the best choirboys are kept for the
- church through castration - the alteration of the title.
- Amis's book is a lovely example, beaten only by the
- master of this style, Keith Roberts.
