Martin Amis, Kingsley Amis’ son, was born in Oxford in 1949. He had his education at schools in the UK, Spain, and the USA before earning a First Class Honours in English from Exeter College in Oxford.
When he was a staff editor at the Times Literary Supplement in 1973, he wrote and published his first book, The Rachel Papers. The novel Dead Babies was published in 1975 after receiving the 1974 Somerset Maugham Award. Success, his third book, was released in 1978. From 1977 to 1979, he served as the New Statesman’s literary editor.
Amis is sometimes classed with the generation of British-based authors that debuted during the 1980s and included Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, and Julian Barnes. This generation of writers is regarded by many critics as one of the most influential and inventive voices in contemporary British fiction.
