The prize-winning autobiography of the late, great Martin Amis. Now with an introduction from Zadie Smith.
'Before we face experience, that miserable enemy, let us have some more innocence, just for a while....'
INTRODUCED BY ZADIE SMITH
In this masterwork of literary memoir, Martin Amis tells the stories of his life, both the ordinary and the outlandish - from his bohemian childhood, through fame, fatherhood and divorce, to the news of a cousin brutally murdered, the agonising removal of all his teeth, the discovery of a long-lost daughter and, most poignantly, the death of his father, and fellow novelist Kingsley Amis.

'Martin Amis is a seriously good writer, and never on better form than now. Experience, the book of his life, may be the book of his life' Daily Telegraph
