Best books to learn Martin Amis, in order
Amis is a stylist first, which means the reason to read him is the sentences and the reason people give up on him is the plots. The career has a clear arc: brash early comedies, a mid-career London run that produced his two most famous novels, a late turn to the twentieth century's atrocities, and a body of memoir and criticism that many readers now rate above the fiction.
