'Endlessly entertaining-Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read-Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive' Auberon Waugh, Sunday Telegraph

Elegant, provocative and hugely entertaining, Kingsley Amis's memoirs are filled with anecdotes, experiences and portraits of famous friends, family, acquaintances (and a few eminent foes). From his childhood days to Oxford and army life, his travels abroad and his years as a successful novelist, Memoirs offers extraordinary insights into a unique literary life.
