Experience

About “Experience”

Martin Amis's memoir offers a candid account of his life and the "geography of the writer's mind," exploring his relationship with his father, Kingsley Amis, and reflecting on the crises in Kingsley's life, including his death. The book also examines the disappearance and exhumation of Amis's cousin Lucy Partington, as well as the evolving literary scenes in Britain and the United States, featuring anecdotes and portraits of figures such as Saul Bellow, Salman Rushdie, and Philip Larkin.
