Klappentext zu „Time's Arrow “
Reissues of the work of Martin Amis, displaying the scope of Amis's work and the intricacy, humour and vividness of his style.Autoren-Porträt von Martin Amis
Martin Amis was twenty-three when he wrote his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973). Over the next half century - in fourteen more novels, two collections of short stories, eight works of literary criticism and reportage, and his acclaimed memoir, Experience - he established himself as the most distinctive and influential prose stylist of his generation. To many of his readers, Amis was also the funniest. His intoxicating comedic gifts express a profound understanding of the human experience, particularly its most shocking cruelties, and Amis wrote with pathos and verve on an astonishing range of subjects, from masculinity and movie violence to nuclear weapons and Nazi doctors. His books, which have been translated into thirty-eight languages, provide an indelible portrait and critique of late-capitalist society at the turn of the twenty-first century. He died in 2023.

Rezension zu „Time's Arrow “
"Amis's backwards world is rigorously imagined. It is a world of pathos and cruel hilarity - but the crux, the test of his vision, is what he does with Auschwitz" -- James Wood Guardian "The devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal. It is, I think, Amis's finest achievement to date" Financial Times "Extraordinary - Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave" Independent on Sunday "An icy, hard read - Amis is at his intriguing, powerful and heedful best" Time Out "Amis's most daring and ambitious novel" Daily Telegraph
