Synopsis

Written in one of the few unmistakenly literary voices of our time, Amis' Memoirs have already created a furor in England. Amis writes without inhibition about Roald Dahl, Anthony Burgess, Francis Bacon, Malcolm Muggeridge, and many others. Amis' memiors are rich, hilarious, and wicked--written with tremendous verve about Oxford, the literary life, and Mrs, Thatcher--and give us a completely unvarnished portrait of him.

About this title

Review:

"Endlessly entertaining... Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read... Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Horribly enjoyable... The chief feeling is shame at laughing quite so much" (Independent on Sunday)

"Kingsley Amis's funniest book since Lucky Jim. It's humour is heart-warmingly malicious" (Sunday Times)

"He is nasty about people that have amply deserved it one way or the other; he deflates pretension; he exposes doublethink...he also excels in hailing poets and truepennies" (Guardian)

"Amis can be sharp and even brutal as well as funny and indiscreet...he has evidently written Memoirs with relish" (Sunday Telegraph)
