var tcdacmd="dt"; Spotlight The Bard of Brash Martin Amis on his new book, the Iraq war, and a long-ago love affair with Tina Brown by Chris Lehmann FAMOUS CHOPS Martin Amis I f an enfant terrible can have a second childhood, Martin Amis is well into his. After creating a huge stir among his countrymen in the mid-90s by (temporarily) forsaking London for New York, taking up with a new wife, a new agent, and even a newly photogenic set of teeth, the brash English novelist incited still more rancor in his homeland with the 2003 novel Yellow Dog , which recorded a middle-age protagonist's porn addiction in graphic detail. Tibor Fischer famously likened it in the London Telegraph to discovering "your favourite uncle being caught in a school playground, masturbating." "Tina sort of saved me, because she was very pretty and ebullient and publicly affectionate. She got the scent off me" With his latest novel, House of Meetings , Amis tackles a far more solemn theme: life in the Soviet gulags. The plot pivots on a love triangle; the book's never-named narrator vies most of his life with his younger brother and gulag-mate, Zev, for the affections of a Jewish woman, Zoya, who miraculously evades the camps. But the romantic tension builds to a brutal climax, disfiguring the inner lives of all three, not to mention the person of Zoya. Though a somber turn from previous works and in certain circles considered a welcome return to form, House of Meetings New Statesman decried Zoya as a "woman reduced to pure sexual allure ... a sort of Russian-Jewish Jessica Rabbit."

Olsson's: Buyer's Corner Thursday, January 11, 2007 Martin Amis is Back Well, I’m getting situated in my new office. I brought in a chair of indeterminate Swedish heritage and a very nice rug that I have on (semi-) permanent loan from my brother. So, now I have a comfy reading corner, now I just need a pipe and a reading jacket. During the holiday season with all that’s going on, it’s a bit hard to get some good reading time in. I am taking great advantage of this slightly less hectic time to get started on a whole host of books I’ve been eyeing for some time. I may have spread myself a bit too thin, I think I have about five books I’ve started in earnest in the last week. One in particular that I am excited about and really enjoying is the new Martin Amis book House of Meetings (Knopf $23). It’s been a roller-coaster review ride for him the last few years, with his last effort

Where am I? HOME COMMENT Blogs David Aaronovitch - Times Online - WBLG ... A green light for red-light areas » January 13, 2008 The Second Plane by Martin Amis Kingsley Amis's son has always had plenty of people to hate him. His imagined patrimony, his early success, his implausible virtuosity and his fearlessness have ensured that many who weren't actually offended by him were envious. It was probably inevitable that Martin Amis would attract the bitter dislike of the more ideologically policed section of the liberal-left intelligentsia. In the past couple of years there has been a slow excommunication from the broad church - with good reviews turned into bad in the London Review of Books - and then last year, the full auto-da-f� - conducted principally in The Guardian, with members of the round-robinocracy, led by Terry Eagleton, waiting their turn to add a faggot to the flames. Amis's apostasy was not, as it was with others, over the Iraq War. This collection of writings mostly from newspapers on events since September 11, 2001, reminds readers that he always opposed the invasion. In March 2003, he gave warning that the “intellectually null” George Bush, “a tax-cutting dry drunk from West Texas” was leading his country into a disastrous trap, ineluctably provoking, inter alia, “an additional generation of terror from militant Islam”. If Amis is open to any criticism over Iraq, it is that he explores Saddam Hussein's science-fiction bloodiness - as he does in the short story In the Palace of the End - without the slightest realistic notion of how it might be brought to a conclusion.

There’s a definite urge – don’t you have it? – to say, ‘The Muslim community will have to suffer until it gets its house in order.’ What sort of suff­­er­­­ing? Not letting them travel. Deportation – further down the road. Curtailing of freedoms. Strip-searching people who look like they’re from the Middle East or from Pakistan Discriminatory stuff, until it hurts the whole community and they start getting tough with their children. They hate us for letting our children have sex and take drugs – well, they’ve got to stop their children killing people. It’s a huge dereliction on their part. There have been three views that most people have taken from this. The first is that by 'there is an urge' Amis means that he has it, and more he assumes it is widely shared 'dont' you', that such a programme needs to be carried out not just on the Muslim community but also on anyone who looks like they are from the Middle East or Pakistan. An urge, but only that. The less charitable interpretation, which I have leaned to, that he is using the formulation 'there's a definite urge' as way of saying what he doesn't wish to say directly, 'I think it should be done'. A third more charitable interpretation is merely that he is, much like Mary Beard, only passing on what he has heard.

Martin Amis Regarded by many critics as one of the most influential and innovative voices in contemporary British fiction, Amis is often grouped with the generation of British-based novelists that emerged during the 1980s and included Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan and Julian Barnes. His work has been heavily influenced by American fiction, especially the work of Philip Roth, John Updike and Saul Bellow. His loose trilogy of novels set in London begins with Money: A Suicide Note (1984), a satire of Thatcherite amorality and greed, continues with

The younger Amis, who turned from literary journalism to fiction, invites comparison with his father through his choice of career and style. Often writing satire so bitterly sardonic that it goes far beyond the caustic comedy of his father's fiction, he has exposed the darker aspects of contemporary English society in his novels. Among them are The Rachel Papers Dead Babies Money London Fields Time's Arrow The Information (1995), and
