Editorial Reviews
Review
'This collection represents a real advance in Martin Amis studies. Twelve informed and exciting essays by an international range of leading Amis scholars and critics explore his novels and literary journalism from a wide variety of aspects and provide a rich source of fresh insights and perspectives. In a theoretically sophisticated but accessible way, they examine the structure, language and significance of his work and its controversial engagements with postmodernity, class, gender and Holocaust. The collection also contains an invaluable bibliography of Amis's prolific nonfiction. This book is essential reading for all those interested in Amis and contemporary writing.' - Nicolas Tredell, School of Humanities, University of Sussex, editor of The Fiction of Martin Amis: A Reader's Guide to Essential Criticism
