Inside Story
Jonathan Cape Limited, 2020. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 521. "This extraordinary novel gives the reader the heart-to-heart testimony of one of our finest writers - a wonder of literary invention and a boisterous modern classic. His most intimate and epic work to date, Inside Story is the unseen portrait of Martin Amis' extraordinary life, as a man and a writer. This novel had its birth in a death - that of the author's closest friend, Christopher Hitchens. We also encounter the vibrant characters who have helped define Martin Amis, from his father Kingsley, to his hero Saul Bellow, from Philip Larkin to Iris Murdoch and Elizabeth Jane Howard, and to the person who captivated his twenties, the alluringly amoral Phoebe Phelps. What begins as a thrilling tale of romantic entanglements, family and friendship, evolves into a tender, witty exploration of the hardest questions- how to live, how to grieve, and how to die? In his search for answers, Amis surveys the great horrors of the twentieth century, and the still unfolding impact of the 9/11 attacks on the twenty-first - and what all this has taught him about how to be a writer. The result is one of Amis' greatest achievements- a love letter to life that is at once exuberant, meditative, heartbreaking and ebullient, to be savoured and cherished for many years to come."-Provided by publisher.

Koba the Dread. Laughter and the Twenty Million
Jonathan Cape, 2002. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 306. "KOBA THE DREAD is the successor to Martin Amis's celebrated memoir, EXPERIENCE. It is largely political (while remaining personal). It addresses itself to the central lacuna of twentieth century thought: the indulgence of communism by intellectuals of the West. In between the personal beginning and the personal ending, Amis gives us perhaps the best one hundred pages ever written about Stalin: Koba the Dread, losif the Terrible. The author's father, Kingsley Amis, though later reactionary in tendency, was a Comintern dogsbody (as he would come to put it) from 1941 to 1956. His second-closest, and then his closest friend (after the death of the poet Philip Larkin), was Robert Conquest, a leading Sovietologist, whose book of 1968, The Great Terror, was second only to Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago in undermining the USSR. Amis's remarkable memoir explores these connections. Stalin said that the death of one person was tragic, the death of millions a mere statistic. KOBA THE DREAD, during whose course the author absorbs a particular, a familial death, is a rebuttal of Stalin's aphorism.". ISBN: 9780224063036. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

De rimpel van de tijd. Essays en reportages, 1994-2017
Atlas Contact. Paperback. Pp: 464. In - De rimpel van de tijd` zijn van Martin Amis de beste stukken van de afgelopen dertig jaar verzameld, en dat levert een boek op waarin de grootste literatuur van de vorige eeuw vlijmscherp wordt geanalyseerd en waarin hij schrijft over populaire cultuur. De verhalen over sport, Las Vegas en pornografie behoren tot de grappigste essays over onze tijd die ooit zijn geschreven. Aan politiek valt niet te ontsnappen in deze tijd, en Amis is dan ook genadeloos over Rusland, het Engelse koningshuis en vooral Donald Trump. Een van de weinige voordelen van diens uitverkiezing, is het feit dat Martin Amis over hem schrijft. Martin Amis is een van de belangrijkste levende romanschrijvers. Minder bekend is dat hij als essayist vrijwel net zo sterk is. ISBN: 9789025453053. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Uit de eerste hand
Atlas Contact. Paperback. Pp: 672. Amis` persoonlijkste en enerverendste werk, waarin hij ons een bijzondere kijk gunt op zijn buitengewone leven. Deze autobiografische roman vindt zijn oorsprong in de dood van zijn beste vriend, Christopher Hitchens. We ontmoeten ook tal van andere sprankelende persoonlijkheden die Martin Amis mede hebben gemaakt tot wie hij is, van zijn vader Kingsley tot zijn grote held Saul Bellow, van Philip Larkin tot Iris Murdoch en Elizabeth Jane Howard, tot de vrouw die hem als twintiger volledig in de ban hield, de verleidelijk amorele Phoebe Phelps. Wat begint als een fascinerende geschiedenis over amoureuze verhoudingen, familieleden en vrienden ontwikkelt zich tot een tedere, humoristische verkenning van de vragen die ons het zwaarst vallen: hoe te leven, hoe te rouwen, hoe te sterven.
