Tribute to the Late Martin Amis: A Literary Career Unlike Any OtherThe world of literature lost a shining star as Martin Amis died at the age of 73. During his almost 50-year career, Amis delighted, provoked, inspired, and outraged readers with his fiction, reportage, and memoirs. Amis published 15 novels, from The Rachel Papers in 1973 to Inside Story in 2020, which enfolds fiction into memoirs and essays. Amis’s literary career was a tale of two sides, with one side being male chums, literary salon, and an interest in other minds. Martin Amis inspired and provoked with his writing and his life, and he will be remembered as a writer who gave pleasure and enjoyed his superhumour until the end.
