Amis non ha difetti. � intelligente, spiritoso, ironico' Guardian Che consiglio si pu� dare a un giovane autore inesperto? A cosa servono i premi letterari? Dove diavolo pu� un uomo mangiare un boccone decente? Questa divertente raccolta � un Kingsley Amis d'annata, che lo rivela nel suo aspetto pi� robusto e incisivo, tagliando una falce attraverso argomenti come scrittori e scrittura, 'All'estero', mangiare e bere, musica, lingua e istruzione. Rivolge uno sguardo chiaro e critico a Evelyn Waugh, Anthony Powell, Anthony Burgess, Ian Fleming e Philip Larkin, e non risparmia i loro potenziali lettori in 'Sod the Public: A Consumer's Guide'. In una prosa tipicamente tagliente, malvagia e spiritosa, Amis affronta la cultura e le idee della sua epoca.

He received a knighthood in 1990.
