Martin Amis is one of the most important and distinctive writers of
the last thirty years and his work continues to provoke controversy
and debate. From his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973) to his
more recent Lionel Asbo (2012) his fiction has engaged with the
major movements in literary and critical theory over the last four
decades. His experimental approach to the novel form, his creation
of complex and memorable characters, and his acute awareness of the
relationship between fiction and reality mark out the distinctive
elements of Amis' work. In addition, his often-controversial
representations of class, gender and race make him an important and
provocative figure for contemporary literary studies. This book
provides a critical survey and evaluation of his major works,
identifying his commitment to stylistic expression and experiment
alongside the ways in which his novels have engaged with social,
cultural and political issues.
