This is a provocative and entertaining collection of interviews with one of the finest English writers of the 20th century. Soon after Kingsley Amis (1922-1995) published his first novel, "Lucky Jim", in 1954, he became an object of literary and journalistic scrutiny - scrutiny that would continue until his last days, four decades and forty books later. Celebrated by reviewers and critics alike for his wit and irreverence, Amis rose to the occasion whenever interviewed, whether it was for the "Economist" or "Penthouse", he tackled issues as far-ranging as the state of the novel and current intellectual trends to the circumstances of his domestic life. "Conversations with Kingsley Amis" brings together a wonderfully insightful and entertaining collection of interviews spanning his entire career - including the first and last interviews he gave.
