About this product

Product Information

These essays by Martin Amis provide portraits of contemporaries and mentors: Larkin and Rushdie, Burgess, Ballard, Nicholson Baker and John Updike. From across the Atlantic, he exposes the double-think of nuke-speak in Washington and the dementia of a Republican convention in New Orleans. And then there is sport. Checking out darts' disastrous attempt to clean itself up, Amis sneaks tips from the world number one, and witnesses the sad and sudden decline of Keith Deller. An account of dirty tricks in world chess reveals, It's not an art. It's a fight. And so it is when he takes on the snooker savvy of Julian Barometer Barnes, or indulges in some brisk, but vicious poker with Al Alvarez and David Mamet. Sex without Madonna, expulsion from school, the Notting Hill Carnival, a Stones gig that should have been gagged - it's all here, as well as on set with Robocop or set-down with Sabatini. Martin Amis is the author of The Rachel Papers , Success , Other People , Dead Babies , The Moronic Inferno , Money , Einstein's Monsters , London Fields and Time's Arrow .
