INTRODUCED BY ZADIE SMITH

In this masterwork of literary memoir, Martin Amis tells the stories of his life, both the ordinary and the outlandish — from his bohemian childhood, through fame, fatherhood and divorce, to the news of a cousin brutally murdered, the agonising removal of all his teeth, the discovery of a long-lost daughter and, most poignantly, the death of his father, and fellow novelist Kingsley Amis.
