Rest in peace, Martin. You left us a hell of a legacy by which to remember you. Your shelf in my bookcase is more precious to me now than ever.
These Amis interviews are a real find. Makes me want to read the memoir discussed and more Bellow.
'Smells of the lamp' (2:59): Said of a literary production manifestly laboured. Plutarch attributes the phrase to Pytheas the orator, who said, “The orations of Demosthenes smell of the lamp,” alluding to the current tale that the great orator lived in an underground cave lighted by a lamp, that he might have no distraction to his severe study. (Dictionary of Phrase and Fable 1898)
Interesting, I'm quoting this in a novel that I'm writing, thanks a million 😊
Charlie Rose; master of the irrelevant interjection.
Martin Amis is the greatest Kingsley Amis' creation
British people always criticise American TV for being dumb but we have nothing like Charlie Rose in the UK.
That's true. Television is abysmally anti-intellectual in the UK.
Parkinson?
Because our cultures are different and such egotism is not natural to our temperament.
"Your father's death stood between you and this book." "Well, that's one way of putting it." Even if Martin hadn't replied like that, anyone could tell that is an appalling expression. Dumb enough, and pretty insensitive.
@@steveconn More entertaining and more clever.
Amis is very cool
sweet
27:40 "It hasn't happened before, that two writers are stacked (father and son) like that" - well, not quite, there's Alexandre Dumas and Alexandre Dumas fils.
RIP.
50!? Other people of his age should be ashamed.
Well, no, it took less than a decade for Mart to become his own Wildean portrait of himself, hidden in the attic, yet splashed all over Media, startling the hell out of us...
Martin is generally sensible and generous , but he and his father also had a mean side in which they could be cruel - in particular in relation to Monica Jones, long-time partner of Larkin. He (Martin,), did indulge in rather too much self-publicity in the end.
A writer should say what he has to say in his writing. Preferably in metaphor without giving himself away -as in 'Lucky Jim', But hardly anybody reads that now alas.
Really ,anyone can die at sny moment .
Charlie Rose seems a little drunk??
He always does. Must be overworked.
He seemed very lucid and thoughtful to me.
"Orgy of lugubriousness." Heh.
If your going to be ruthless with your childern or friend that incudes parternes, dont have them, its irresponsibly selfish, and can't be justifed😮
