British/UK Fiction Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis Jem Bloomfield Sep 22, 2007 Lucky Jim is a modern British classic. Written and set in the early fifties, the title character Jim Dixon is a history lecturer at one of the modern provincial universities, who is frustrated by the academic banality of his job, and trapped in a suffocating pseudo-relationship with a woman he is completely uninterested in. Though that summary would suggest otherwise, Lucky Jim Look Back in Anger Lucky Jim

http://www.wisc.edu/wisconsinpress/books/2549.htm

Extractions: Now also in paperback, this innovative study of two of England's most popular, controversial, and influential writers breaks new ground in examining the relationship between Kingsley Amis and his son, Martin Amis. Through intertextual readings of their essays and novels, Gavin Keulks examines how the Amises' work negotiated the boundaries of their personal relationship while claiming territory in the literary debate between mimesis and modernist aesthetics. Theirs was a battle over the nature of reality itself, a twentieth-century realism war conducted by loving family members and rival, antithetical writers. Keulks argues that the Amises' relationship functioned as a source of literary inspiration and that their work illuminates many of the structural and stylistic shifts that have characterized the British novel since 1950. "Keulks' book is holding and absorbing, filled with excellently shrewd and steady analysis of selected novels, essays and interviews set in the context of the status and future of the realistic novel, the transition from modernism to postmodernism, and the existential condition of post-World War II life."

The following entry provides an overview of Amis's career through 1999. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volumes 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 40, and 44. With the publication of his first novel Lucky Jim (1954), Amis established himself as the voice of British middle-class intellectuals. In the novel, Amis chronicles the exploits of Jim Dixon, a lower-middle-class man who refuses to accept the idea of the inherent superiority of high culture. As a result of this novel, critics identified Amis as a member of the âAngry Young Men,â a British post-war working class literary movement. Throughout a prolific career spanning almost fifty years Amis continued to develop his voice, championing lowbrow culture such as the spy novel and adventure story, always writing in a straightforward and lucid style, and earning converts through his biting satirical humor. Although in later years he was criticized for dated and intolerant views, particularly in regard to women, he won the Booker Prize in 1986 for his novel

Extractions: Matthew J. Bruccoli, Series Editor About the Book About the Author Order the Book Also by the Author In Understanding Kingsley Amis Merritt Moseley surveys the career of a controversial British writer whose concern with class conflict prompted his classification along with John Osborne, John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, and John Wain as one of Britain's "Angry Young Men." Author of biographies, poetry, and criticism, Amis is best known for his fiction. Moseley's study centers on the novels that have earned Amis's large readership, from Lucky Jim (1954) to The Folks That Live on the Hill (1990). Moseley contends that despite the writer's popular following, his readers failure to recognize Amis's versatility, originality, integration of comedy and moral interests, and attitudes toward ethical and social questions has obstructed a full appreciation of his writing's complexity. Understanding Kingsley Amis gives students, scholars, and admirers of the British writer an overview of the characteristics that distinguish his work.

http://www.universalexports.net/Books/colonel.shtml

Extractions: Kingsley Amis, writing under the pen-name of Robert Markham, was the George Lazenby of Bond literature. The official Bond novel after the death of Ian Fleming, Amis' Colonel Sun is a throwback to classic Fleming storytelling. In a 1991 introduction to the book, Amis said that the movies had become too campy and that, especially in Goldfinger and Thunderball , Bond relied too much on Q's gadgets than his own training. With that in mind, Colonel Sun found 007 completely on his own with no help from Britain, Q or anyone else other than a few Greek Locals. The novel itself begins with Bond and Bill Tanner playing gold while Bond laments oh his going soft and how he needs something to break up his predictable everyday routine. His wish is quickly granted that night when he goes to visit M at his Quarterdeck home and finds a kidnapping taking place. After an intense battle, Bond finds himself in police custody with M missing. The trail heats up in Greece where Bond learns M's kidnapper, Colonel Sun, is plotting to sabotage a USSR summit and make it seem as if Bond and M are responsible. Teaming up with the most unlikely of allies, Bond and Greek locals Ariadne Alexandrou and Niko Litsas, go after Colonel Sun and save the day. Following Ian Fleming was no easy task, but Kingsley Amis managed to add a decent entry to the Bond literary cannon. The story is simple enough to follow yet still intriguing. The surroundings are well described and the reader gets a feel for what Bond is looking at and experiencing. Where the novel fails, however, is in Amis' neglect of the most interesting part of his story: M's kidnapping.
