Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Elegant, provocative and hugely entertaining, Kingsley Amis' memoirs are filled with anecdotes, experiences and portraits of famous friends, family, acquaintances (and a few eminent foes). From his childhood days to Oxford and army life, his travels abroad and his years as a successful novelist, Memoirs offers extraordinary insights into a unique literary life.

Critic reviews

"Endlessly entertaining.... Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read.... Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive." (Auberon Waugh, Sunday Telegraph)

A good storyteller.

I was happy with the audiobook. It was better than I had expected and made me smile.
