PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE AMIS COLLECTION -...

'Amis has no faults. He is clever  witty  ironical' GuardianWhat advice can one give a green
young author? What purpose do literary prizes serve? Where on earth can a man get a decent bite
to eat? This entertaining collection is vintage Kingsley Amis  revealing him at his most robust
and incisive  cutting a swathe through such subjects as writers and writing  'Abroad'  eating
and drinking  music  language and education. He turns a clear and critical eye on Evelyn Waugh
Anthony Powell  Anthony Burgess  Ian Fleming and Philip Larkin  and does not spare their
potential readers in 'Sod the Public: A Consumer's Guide'. In typically razor-sharp  wicked and
witty prose  Amis tackles the culture and conceits of his era.
