Two writers, one family and contrasting literary worlds
Good reading condition - Ex-library with scuffed protective covering, worn edges, library stamps and substantial foxing. Good reading condition though.
Neil Powell examines the lives and writing of Kingsley and Martin Amis, a father and son whose work helped define two generations of British literature. Their relationship provides a way into questions of influence, independence, ambition and the changing culture in which each writer worked. Powell follows their careers alongside the family connections, friendships and differences that shaped them, considering both their public reputations and their personal lives. Rather than treating the two authors in isolation, the biography explores the conversations and tensions between them. The result is a portrait of a literary family and a study of how talent can be inherited, resisted and transformed.
