Martin Amis

(born Aug. 25, 1949, Oxford, Oxfordshire, Eng.) British writer and critic. The son of writer Kingsley Amis, he graduated from Oxford University in 1971. He worked for the Times Literary Supplement and the New Statesman before becoming a full-time writer. His works — including the novels Money (1984), London Fields (1989), Time's Arrow (1991), and Night Train (1998) — feature inventive word play and often scabrous humour as they satirize the horrors of modern life. Amis also published an acclaimed autobiography, Experience (2000). Stalinism is the subject of the nonfiction Koba the Dread (2002) and the novel House of Meetings (2006).
