The Letters of Kingsley Amis by Kingsley Amis
In his letters to friends such as Philip Larkin and Robert Conquest, Kingsley Amis was able to unbutton himself to an extent impossible in work intended for publication, and as a result the more than 700 letters contained in this volume contain some of his wittiest and most acerbic writings.
Sir Kingsley Amis was born in 1922. He was the author of twenty-two novels, as well as numerous collections of short stories and non-fiction writings, anthologies of poetry and prose, and books on subjects as diverse as drinking, James Bond and science fiction. His first, hugely successful, novel Lucky Jim was published in 1954, and in 1986 he won the Booker Prize for The Old Devils. He died in 1995.
