Kingsley Amis was a prolific poet, essayist, screenwriter, and novelist who burst onto the literary scene as the original Angry Young Man with his book, “Lucky Jim.” But Amis might be better described as disgruntled or crabby rather than angry. This is largely due to his anarchical humor.
In his later career, Amis dabbled in science fiction and is noted for his imaginative 1966 work, “The Anti-Death League”.
Amis has left us with a number of delicious quotes, and my favorite now graces the “About” page on this very website.
“If you can’t annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.”
