Description

London England: Hodder & Stoughton. Hardback. First Edition. Kingsley Amis in his seventies is Britain's most versatile and polific literary artist, the strongest contemporary contender for the title Grand Old Man of English Letters. In a forty-year career that began with the hilarious and much-loved Lucky Jim, he has produced more than twenty novels, several collections of poetry and a constant stream of other writing from radio plays to advertising copy, political polemic (both left and right of centre) to restaurant reviews, detective stories to science fiction. He has also been a university teacher at Swansea, Princeton, Cambridge and Nashville, Tennesse. Amis'sis a controversial and contradictory career, a paradigm for his times. As his biographer, Eric Jacobs has been given unique access to Amis and his papers in a close working relationship over more than two years. This book is a compelling, funny and painfully honest study which provides an unrivalled insight into the man and his work, revealing Amis to be a far more fascinating, complex and driven man than the popular sterotype suggests. Illustrated. 382 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 1995.
