In this Readers' Guide, Nicolas Tredell explores the critical judgements
and interpretations generated by Amis's novels and short stories over
the past quarter of a century. Drawing on reviews, essays, interviews
and books, it brings together material on Amis which has never
previously been collected and provides the most wide-ranging examination
of his fiction so far, considering key issues such as his use of
language, his concern with time, apocalypse and corruption, his relation
to modernity and postmodernity, his representation of women and
sexuality, and his treatment of the Holocaust.
