After the publication of Lucky Jim in 1954, Kingsley Amis wrote over twenty novels, including The Alteration, winner of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, The Old Devils, winner of the Booker Prize in 1986, and The Biographer's Moustache, which was to be his last book. He also wrote on politics, education, language, films, television, restaurants and drink. Kingsley Amis was awarded the CBE in 1981 and received a knighthood in 1990. He died in October 1995.

Endlessly entertaining… Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read… Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive

Other text

Horribly enjoyable… The chief feeling is shame at laughing quite so much
