In "The Life of Kingsley Amis", Zachary Leader, acclaimed editor of "The Letters of Kingsley Amis", draws not only on unpublished works & correspondence but also on interviews w/ a wide range of Amis?s friends, relatives, fellow writers, students & colleagues, many of whom have never spoken out before. The result is a compulsively readable account of Amis's childhood, school days & life as a student at Oxford, teacher, critic, political & cultural commentator, professional author, husband, father & lover. Even as he makes the case for Amis's cultural centrality?at his death Time magazine claimed that "the British decades between 1955 and 1995 should in fairness be called 'the Amis era'"?Leader explores the writer's phobias, self-doubts & ambitions; the controversies in which he was embroiled; & the role that drink played in a life bedeviled by erotic entanglements, domestic turbulence & personal disaster. Dazzling for its thoroughness, psychological acuity & elegant style, "The Life of Kingsley Amis" is exemplary: literary biography at its very best. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Zachary Leader is a professor of English literature at Roehampton University in England. Among his books are studies of Romantic poetry and modern British fiction. Leader edited The Letters of Kingsley Amis ("One of the last major monuments of the epistolary art." ?The Sunday Telegraph. * HIGH PRAISE: "This is a book of true stature about a complex talent. Few literary biographies can match it for depth & intimacy." -The Sunday Times "Elegantly organized, lovingly detailed and--how could it not be?--eruptively funny, Zachary Leader's book is hard to put down." -New Statesman "Full, perceptive & admirably even-handed. Considered as a narrative of the growth & decay of character, Leader's biography starts to assume the features of an Aristotelian tragedy." -London Review of Books * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
