Experience

The prize-winning autobiogrpahy of the late, great Martin Amis, now with an introduction from Zadie Smith.

This is the great Martin Amis's autobiography.

INTRODUCED BY ZADIE SMITH

It is a writer's self-portrait - both a candid memoir and intimate insight into the process of writing itself. As the son of a famous writer, the comic novelist Kingsley Amis, Martin Amis explores his relationship with his father and writes about the various crises of Kingsley's life, including the final one of his death.

Amis also reflects on the life and legacy of his cousin, Lucy Partington, who disappeared without trace in 1973 and was exhumed twenty years later from the basement of Frederick West, one of Britain's most prolific serial murderers.
