Martin Amis Now

“Of course ‘Lionel Asbo’ is overwritten — it’s by Martin Amis! The problem is that it’s under-overwritten. And there it is, the voice in a generation’s ear, charming without charm, insistently dazzling, milking the paradoxes until their teats are sore and they have no more nourishment to give. It’s easy to write Amislike sentences, hard to write good ones, and there are signs that Amis feels this too.”
 — This is a pretty amazing consideration of middle-to-now period Martin Amis.
