About this product

Product Information

Martin Amis is perhaps the most gifted novelist of his generation. His prose refashions the English language into a lean and brillant instrument, dazzling readers with its energy and wit. His novels and short stories chart a world that is uniquely his: as John Updike puts it, 'Amis is trying to construct a large, reaching, ambitious set of books - trying to cover the world in fiction'. His celebrity as a novelist is also unique - few writers have attracted such obsessive media attention. In this much anticipated memoir, Amis writes with striking candour about his life and looks intimately at the process of writing itself. As the son of a famous writer, the great comic novelist Kingsley Amis, Martin Amis explores his relationship with his father and writes about the various crises of Kingsley's life, including the final crisis of his death. Amis also examines the case of his cousin, Lucy Partington, who disappeared without a trace in 1973 (a month after the publication of his first novel), and was exhumed in 1994 from the back garden of Frederick West, Britain's most prolific serial killer. Inevitably, too, the memoir records the changing literary scene in Britain and the United States, with many anecdotes and pen-portraits. The result is a remarkable work of autobiography - profound, witty,and ruthlessly honest. As a writer's self-portrait, it is destined to become a classic.

The item arrived in haste & was suitably packaged for protection in transit. I'd perhaps take slight issue with the book being described as "very good" &, had I have been the seller, suggest I'd have categorised it as "good". The book itself is relatively unmarked, except a little mis-shapen at the top of the spine at the front, but is let down by the dust cover, which is marked in a few places. Having said that, it was sold at a good price, so I have no reason to complain. A satisfied customer.

  • Great Book - Amis' Song of Innocence and Experience

    The photograph on the cover of this book is in many ways indicative of its content; like all of Martin Amis' work, this memoir is an achievement of masterful chiaroscuro, dealing with both innocence and -of course - experience. It is by turns arrestingly touching, and brutally funny, an insight into the kind of bohemian lifestyle that allows a cherub to smoke a cigarette, but also an address to our common humanity. Family is a clear theme, in all its continuities, disruptions, and severances. Amis' relationship with his father, the novelist Kingsley, up until the latter's final moments, finds parallels and contrasts with his relationship with his own children. The murder of his cousin Lucy Partington by the serial killer Frederick West is a long shadow cast across the whole book, but also ...
