Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry (1973) is the penultimate novel by the late British avant-garde novelist B. S. Johnson and the last to be published in his lifetime, Johnson committing suicide in the year of the book's release. It is the metafictional account of a disaffected young man, Christie Malry, who applies the principles of double-entry bookkeeping to his own life, "crediting" himself against society in an increasingly violent manner for perceived "debits", with his methods ranging from acts of vandalism to terrorist attacks leading to the deaths of thousands of innocent people.
