Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From one of the most gifted and innovative writers of our time, an autobiographical novel thats a tender, witty exploration of the hardest questions: how to live, how to grieve, and how to die [A] charismatic compound of fact and fiction.Martin Amis has retained the power to surprise. The New York Times This novel had its birth in the death of Martin Amis's closest friend, the incomparable Christopher Hitchens, and it is within that profound and sprawling friendship that Inside Story unfurls. From their early days as young magazine staffers in London, reviewing romantic entanglements and the latest literary gossip (not to mention ideas, books, and where to lunch), Hitch was Amis's wingman and adviser, especially in the matter of the alluringly amoral Phoebe Phelpsan obsession Amis must somehow put behind him if he is ever to find love, marriage, a plausible run at happiness. Other figures competing as Amis's main influencers are his literary fathersKingsley, of course; his hero Saul Bellow; the weirdly self-finessing poet Philip Larkinand his significant literary mothers, including Iris Murdoch and Elizabeth Jane Howard. Moving among these greats to set his own path, he winds up surveying the horrors of the twentieth century, and the still-unfolding impact of the 9/11 attacks on the twenty-firstand considers what all of this has taught him about how to live and how to be a writer. The result is a love letter to lifeand to the people in his lifethat achieves a new level of confidentiality with his readers, giving us the previously unseen portrait of his extraordinary world.
