He received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his memoir Experience and was twice listed for the Booker Prize.
According to Amis, his father showed no interest in his work. “I can point out the exact place where he stopped and sent Money twirling through the air; that’s where the character named Martin Amis comes in.” “Breaking the rules, buggering about with the reader, drawing attention to himself,” Kingsley complained.
In 2012, Amis wrote in The New Republic that he was “moving house” from Camden Town in London to Cobble Hill.
A lifelong heavy smoker, he also had a home in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, where he died from oesophageal cancer on 19 May 2023, at age 73.
