Martin Amis By Brian Finney
2008 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0415402913 | PDF | 2 MB
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Martin Amis's life, work and the wide range of critical responses to his work. Perhaps the best-known British novelist of his generation, he had to compete with his father, Kingsley Amis (1922-95) who was himself a leading novelist of his generation. In reacting to his father he adopted a self-conscious, ludic mode of fiction and cultivated a unique and much imitated style.The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 situates his life in the context of the literary climate and social, political and cultural gestalt of his lifetime. It constitutes the most extensive biographical narrative to appear by the date of publication. Part 2 provides a critical introduction to the eleven novels, two collections of short stories, two autobiographical works, and three collections of essays, reviews, profiles, and articles that he had published so far. Part 3 offers a more advanced examination of the major critical debates about the nature and value of his work. They range from his turn to American fiction for models, his portrayal of women (including charges of misogyny), and his unusual views on linguistic language ("Style is morality," he wrote).

, "Love in the Time of Contempt: Consolations for Parents of Teenagers"
English | ISBN: 1742707300 | | pages | EPUB | 490 KB
When it comes to teenagers, truth is way scarier than fiction. Joanne Fedler draws upon her own current experiences as the parent of two teenagers, as well as interviews with other parents of teenagers to explore some of the numerous issues that one confronts as a parent of a teenager. In Love in the Time of Contempt, she skilfully guides us through the myriad of issues that come before you - from their changing, developing bodies, drinking and drugs, sex, friendships, appearance, relationships within the family, attitudes and ethics, schooling and authority and more. In her exploration of these issues and how they may manifest in our children, Joanne highlights how so much of our dealings with our teenagers is really about dealing with ourselves and being honest about our reactions. In turn we too examine our own values and behaviours to understand our lives together. Love in the Time of Contempt provides comfort and support as the reader recognises the real behaviours portrayed in the book (you are not alone!) , and whilst there are not often easy answers to troubling behaviours, understanding goes a long way and empowers the parent to provide the right level of support in the best interests of all. How much and how little are questions which plague every parent and this book's wise counsel helps us to determine that for themselves.
