Reviews

  • 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

About the Author

Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis's (1922-1995) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of the Second World War. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism and short stories. He received a knighthood in 1990.
