This extraordinary novel gives the reader the heart-to-heart testimony of one of our finest writers - a wonder of literary invention and a boisterous modern classic *Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction* His most intimate and epic work to date Inside Story is the unseen portrait of Martin Amis' extraordinary life as a man and a writer. This novel had its birth in a death - that of the author's closest friend Christopher Hitchens. We also encounter the vibrant characters who have helped define Martin Amis from his father Kingsley to his hero Saul Bellow from Philip Larkin to Iris Murdoch and Elizabeth Jane Howard and to the person who captivated his twenties the alluringly amoral Phoebe Phelps. What begins as a thrilling tale of romantic entanglements family and friendship evolves into a tender witty exploration of the hardest questions: how to live how to grieve and how to die? In his search for answers Amis surveys the great horrors of the twentieth century and the still unfolding impact of the 9 11 attacks on the twenty-first - and what all this has taught him about how to be a writer. The result is one of Amis' greatest achievements: a love letter to life that is at once exuberant meditative heartbreaking and ebullient to be savoured and cherished for many years to come. 'The Mick Jagger of literature ... Amis is the most dazzling prose stylist in post-war British fiction.' Daily Telegraph
