| | MARTIN AMIS'S "MONEY" AND "TIME'S ARROW" |
 | | Amis established himself as a comic writer with his first novel, but a comic writer whose subject is not the traditional subject of comedy. |  | | "Martin Amis" lectures a bored Self on the way the modern antihero is so removed from the author that "you can do what the hell you like with him" (229). |  | | Amis was twenty four when the book appeared to admiring reviews. |

| | Bookreporter.com - THE WAR AGAINST CLICHÉ by Martin Amis |
 | | Martin Amis is a fantastic writer; a perfect writer, maybe. |  | | I mention this to distinguish the places Amis chooses to write from the places he could write if he preferred to, namely literary journals, whose thick, non-glossy editions are sold to university libraries and guys in berets. |  | | If you stick with it, there are rewards to be gleaned from nearly every essay in the book --- just not necessarily from where you'd expect them; the trick is to tune out the dull stuff. |

| | The Austin Chronicle Books: Book Reviews |
 | | Amis writes almost nothing about his collapsed marriage: no explanation, no defense, and virtually no mention of his first wife. |  | | To further particularize Amis' special hell, every one of those events was gleefully, sneeringly, jeeringly recounted in the British press. |  | | In Amis' youth and childhood, Kingsley (author of Lucky Jim, that paradigm of academic comedies) was a famous wit and drinker, an enthusiastic adulterer, and a loving if cranky and neurotic father. |

| | Review The War Against Cliché by Martin Amis |
 | | Amis' most recent book, The War Against Cliché, reminds us of what it is about this writer that makes him so hard to completely put aside. |  | | As completely and profoundly as he damns, Amis' praise and admiration for certain books and certain writers is resonant. |  | | The work of 62 writers is reviewed in The War Against Cliché, but the actual number of reviews is higher as several works of some authors have been included and enough criticism of the works of Philip Larkin, Vladimir Nabokov and John Updike are here to warrant their own sections. |

| | The Gulag Argumento - Martin Amis swings at Stalin and hits his own best friend instead. By Anne Applebaum |
 | | This is supposed to be a book about evil, in other words, but it doesn't even attempt to describe the base, nasty, and small-minded forms of evil of which even the most ordinary human beings are easily capable, given a base and nasty form of government. |  | | Hitchens accuses Amis of "solipsism" and of "mushy secondhand observations," and quotes some satisfyingly silly bits of Amis prose. |  | | As might be expected of one of the most acerbic writers of contemporary English prose, Hitchens responds in kind. |

| | Martin Amis: Between the Influences of Bellow and Nabokov |
 | | One gets the sense that Amis is slightly embarrassed for Bellow's sake when he discusses transcendentalism, anthroposophy or the existence of the human soul. |  | | As far as Martin is concerned, today a Divine Being does not deserve the role of sub-human joker; the author does. |  | | John Self is like any man who--to quote Bellow, as Amis is so fond of doing--"finds himself a creature in the world, he doesn't know how, he doesn't know why" ("Modernity"). |

| | Bookreporter.com - KOBA THE DREAD by Martin Amis |
 | | Amis's primary argument, besides exacting the horror of 20 million Soviet deaths, is that the tragedy still retains a sense of absurd humor, evidenced in his choice of the tongue in cheek title (Koba is Stalin's boyhood nickname), while the "other" atrocity of the 20th century, the German Holocaust, does not. |  | | KOBA THE DREAD would be the perfect companion text; it is as human, as overwhelming, as personal, and as honest a historical analysis that I have ever read. |  | | In his last book, the memoir EXPERIENCE, he wields tragedy and romance all at once, but it is his life. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books By genre Interview: Martin Amis |
 | | It involves a tabloid hack, a mad cockney, a spoof royal family with a manservant called Love ("coming, Love!" chimes the King, a joke that goes back to the Captain Darling gag in Blackadder) and a man who, after receiving a blow to the head, defaults to a pre-middle-class version of himself. |  | | The "other stuff", to which Fischer's contribution is merely the latest in a long, and devastating line, has plagued Amis more than his contemporaries because he is perceived, I think, to have enjoyed that most-loathed thing in this country, an easy ride. |  | | He'd take himself by the hand and say," - here, Amis grasps his own hand and adopting a sing-song voice, enacts the moment that it all boils down to, the space behind the ego. |

 | | It was a move that Amis explains in Experience but that, at the time, was largely seen as highhandedness by an author completely filled with his own self-importance. |  | | The vilification has been largely through his public falling out with his ex-friend, the novelist Julian Barnes over the firing of Amis' former agent Pat Kavanagh -- who was also Barnes' wife -- and replacing her with hot shot agent Andrew "The Jackal" Wylie who then got him a huge advance for The Information. |  | | And I thought: God, are they thinking that about everything? |

It's the tale of a thirteen-year-old schizophrenic whose father has just killed himself. |

 | | That said, or, as Amis allows himself to say, 'simply put', we have here a literary critic of startling power, a post-literary-critical critic who, incorrigibly satirical, goes directly to work on the book. |  | | John Fowles is a prominent target: 'He managed a wan smile'; 'God, you're so naive.' No expensive talk about Descartes, Marivaux, Lemprière and Aristophanes can procure a pardon for that sort of thing. |  | | Often, being right and being funny are, in this book, aspects of the same sentence. |

 | | Removed from the jealous merry-go-round orbiting Amis' 'obscene' advance, The Information is as good a book as he's ever written, certainly his most daring. |  | | After the contextual cleverness of Money, London Fields and Time's Arrow, here Amis thwarts our appetite for tart resolution with a wry series of imperfect cadences--like the painful schemes of its protagonist, the book itself audaciously folds, so the reader who came expecting Amis' trademark trickery is ultimately the victim of the trick himself. |  | | Amis had delighted us for years with artful illustrations of vice yet when he dished up a comedy about failure, it evidently rubbed too close to the bone. |
