Photo: John Shakespeare December 29, 2005 Never write sex scenes. A weird story is best kept a short story. Martin Amis and Stephen King slug it out onstage. Madeleine Murray takes notes. No writers could be more different than Martin Amis and Stephen King. Amis, enfant terrible of the British literati, inherited his famous father's flair for lacerating, bilious prose. King never knew his father, who left his Maine home to get cigarettes one evening in 1949 and disappeared forever. His mother supported her two young sons by working in a home for the mentally ill. Amis's first novel concerned an Oxford­bound adolescent determined to sleep with an older woman. King's first published story, I was a Teenage Grave Robber, about a scientist who bred giant maggots, appeared in Comics Review in 1967. Amis has been short­listed for the Booker prize, but only a couple of his novels have ever been filmed, quite forgettably. Intellectuals pooh­pooh King, yet more than 90 of his stories have been adapted for TV and films. Yet on this Saturday morning at The New Yorker festival, the prince and the showman were meeting three other writers to discuss fantasy and invention in fiction. King, rangy and relaxed, seemed to have recovered from his gruesome accident on a deserted Maine road six years ago.

  • Post Nuclear Apocalyptic Vision in Martin Amis's Einstein's Monsters
    Post Nuclear Apocalyptic Vision in Martin Amis’s Einstein’s Monsters The research paper aims to analyze the study of Martin Amis’s Einstein’s Monsters in order to exhibit the philosophical concept of dystopia or anti-utopia. With the abundant evidences from stories and an essay which are collected in Einstein’s Monsters, the researcher comes to find out that utopia cannot be maintained by Europeans due to several reasons, for instance, proliferation of nuclear nukes, unchecked flourishments of industrialization, sense of egotism, escalation of science and technology and many more. In doing so, the researcher has brought the concept of Krishan Kumar and M. Keith Booker. The theoretical concept of ‘anti-utopia’ is proposed by Krishan Kumar’s Utopia and Anti-Utopia in Modern Times. Simultaneously, concept of ‘cacotopia’ is proposed by M. Keith Booker in The Dystopian Impulse in Modern Literature which does not celebrate the end of the world rather it warns the mankind for their massive destructive activities which create artificial apocalypse. These philosophical concepts can be applied and vividly found in Martin Amis’s Einstein’s Monsters. Basically, this research paper focuses on the five stories namely “Bujak and the Strong Force,” “Insight at Flame Lake,” “The Time Disease,” “The Little Puppy That Could” and “The Immortals” where these stories portray the post nuclear apocalyptic vision which, obviously, demonstrates the philosophical concept of dystopia. It further explores the Bernard Brodie’s concept of nuclear deterrence which discourages in the launching of nuclear wars. The research paper also illustrates the ruin of European world of utopia by showing the destruction created by nuclear nukes.

    DOI: 10.1515/genst-2017-0012 CLASS AND GENDER – THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN KINGSLEY AMIS’S LUCKY JIM MILICA RAĐENOVIĆ “Dr Lazar Vrkatić” Faculty of Law and Business Studies 76, Oslobodenjia Blvd 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia [email protected] Abstract: Lucky Jim is one of the novels that mark the beginning of a small subgenre of contemporary fiction called the campus novel. It was written and published in the 1950s, a period when more women and working-class people started attending universities. This paper analyses the representation of women in terms of their gender and class. Keywords: campus novel, class, gender. 1. Introduction After six years of war, Great Britain was hungry for change and craved a more egalitarian society. After the Labour Party came to power in July 1945 with a huge parliamentary majority, the new government started paving the way for a Welfare State, which involved the expansion of the system of social security, providing pensions, sickness and unemployment benefits, a free National Health Service, the funding and expansion of the 183 secondary school system, and giving poor children greater opportunity to attend universities. The Conservative Party returned to power in 1951 but did not make any changes to the measures that brought about the creation of the Welfare State (Davies 2000:51). Once a great world power turned to reshaping its society, in which the class system would become a thing of the past, its people believed that they were living in a country that was going through great changes (Brannigan 2002:3). The Education Act of 1944 was intended to open universities to everyone and thus expand the trend of educational opportunities to the less privileged in the society.

    THE NOVELS AND THE POETRY OF PHILIP LARKIN by JOAN SHEILA MAYNE B.A., University of Hull, 1962 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF M .A. in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1968 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his represen• tatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada April 26, 1968 ii THESIS ABSTRACT Philip Larkin has been considered primarily in terms of his contribution to the Movement of the Fifties; this thesis considers Larkin as an artist in his own right. His novels, Jill and A Girl in Winter, and his first volume of poetry, The North Ship, have received very little critical attention. Larkin's last two volumes of poetry, The Less Deceived and The Whitsun Weddings, have been considered as two very similar works with little or no relation to his earlier work. This thesis is an attempt to demonstrate that there is a very clear line of development running through Larkin's work, in which the novels play as important a part as the poetry.

  • Political Discourse in Martin Amis's Other People: a Mystery Story
    Martin, Karl, and Maggie Too: Political Discourse in Martin Amis’s Other People: A Mystery Story Stephen Jones common thread that runs throughout criticism of Martin Amis’s Awork is a concentration on the formal aspects of his writing. In his earlier work, this concentration often comes at the expense of his novels’ political content. Martin Cropper has written that: Martin Amis has published two novels worth re-reading, his third and fourth: Success (1978) and Other People: A Mystery Story (1981). Each is structurally exquisite—a double helix; a Möbius strip (Cropper, p.6) While I would argue that all of Amis’s work is worth reading regardless, and possibly because, of any ‘aesthetic shortcomings’ that Cropper may identify, his description of Amis’s precise structuring is enlightening. The analogy to the mathematical structures of a double helix and a Möbius strip suggests the precision and rigidity with which Amis has ‘calculated’ his narrative structures, and it is the Möbius strip structure of Other People: A Mystery Story (1981) in particular that appears to have distracted many critics from any political content that the novel may contain. Brian Finney pays close attention to the novel’s metafictional elements, concluding that its cyclical structure entraps ‘the narrator and the reader ... in the web of the fictional construct’ (Finney, p.53). Finney’s suggestion is that the main purpose of the novel’s metafictional devices is to draw attention to the problems of narrative closure. While Finney is correct in noting this, it is also possible to read these devices as drawing attention to social as well as narrative issues.

E-mail: [email protected] Received May 06, 2018; Revised September 29, 2018: Accepted October 27, 2018; Published October 29, 2018. Abstract: The present paper is a modest attempt to map the nuances of the politics of literary prizes and their reception in pan-global [literary] market. The discrimination in awarding the prizes is explicitly perceptible when any cultural text produced by the writers of the ‘third world’ is shortlisted for the prize in general, and the Man Booker in particular. It has been studied and observed that the texts which satiate the exotic lens of ‘Orientalism’, or carry colonial legacies, are brought to the fore to mollify the western academia. As a result, affirmative responses for a distorted picture of India portrayed by Indian/diasporic writers, has not only attracted young writers but also paved a shortcut way for them who intend to be famous overnight in the international literary firmament. Therefore, the politics of the Man Booker prize in this regard are discernible, as it not only masquerades, but also marques a writer, a celebrity.

  • Kingsley Amis Under Tlle Much Good Debate And, 1 Hope, Saving of Money
    Foreword Centre for Policy Studies by Hugh Thomas London 1979 Rfr Kingslry Amis has been delighting readers with his wit and stylc for twenty-five years. 0 Lucky Jim! How we remember him! Ilowever, Mr Amis’s long string of accomplished novels is only one sick., if the most important part, of his literary achievement. There is his poetry. There is his criticism. Now here are his political reconimendations. These are, to he sure, First published 1979 recoinmendations for a policy towards the arts. But, by Centre for Policy Studies nevertheless, they are political if only because they deal firmly 8 \Vilfretl Street and squarely with the argument that the arts should be London SW 1 “politicised”. A horrible word, it is true, but an appropriate Prinbd by S S IV Ltd one for a rotten idea. Mr Amis, too, shows that he could he an 39/21 Great Portland Street inspiring politician. What is his policy? A heavy investment in London Wl poets? Subsidy for exporting novelists? Tax-free dachas for 0 I<ingsley Amis needy critics? Compulsory attendance at courses on cinema ISBN 0 905880 23 4 and TV drama for those writers who have neglected these important nrw forms? Not a bit of it. But Rfr Amis’s plan is for us to have no arts policy. This is a very skilful plan though he would he the first to agree that it is a difficult one to introduce and carry through in a nation much used to busy bodies. At the end of his pamphlet -aversion of a speech delivered at the Centre’s fringe meeting at the 1979 Conservative Conference at Blackpool - Mr Amis alloivs his Publication by tile Centre for Policy Studies does not imply acceptance of attention to wander -orat least so I believe - and suggests aiitlion’conciosioas or prescriptions.

  • Kingsley Amis Was a Drunk Who Hated Me, but He Was No Racist, Says His Second Wife by CORINNA HONAN
    the Mail online http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/text/print.html?in_article_id=49097... Click here to print 31/10/07 ­ Femail section Kingsley Amis was a drunk who hated me, but he was no racist, says his second wife by CORINNA HONAN Even now, 27 years after she crept out of the house with just two suitcases, Elizabeth Jane Howard tortures herself with regrets about the end of her marriage. Should she have stayed? Could she have made a difference to Kingsley Amis's final years, when he was drinking a whole bottle of Macallan single malt by mid­morning before progressing to tequila, gin and Campari? What made it worse was that the novelist never forgave her. Meeting Jane ­ as she is known ­ and leaving his first wife, Hilly, was the most disastrous thing that had ever happened to him, he said later.
