Experience cover

The prize-winning autobiography of the late, great Martin Amis. Now with an introduction from Zadie Smith. 'Part memoir, part confessional, Experience is a gentle coming to terms about the stuff of life' Guardian INTRODUCED BY ZADIE SMITH In this masterwork of literary memoir, Martin Amis tells the stories of his life, both the ordinary and the outlandish - from his bohemian childhood, through fame, fatherhood and divorce, to the news of a cousin brutally murdered, the agonising removal of all his teeth, the discovery of a long-lost daughter and, most poignantly, the death of his father, and fellow novelist Kingsley Amis. **ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY** 'Martin Amis is a seriously good writer, and never on better form than now. Experience, the book of his life, may be the book of his life' Daily Telegraph

A scrupulous and candid writer * Guardian *
His memoir is dazzling, provocative and mordant * The Week *
Funny, sad, moving and absolutely riveting * Daily Telegraph *
On virtually every page there is a phrase that is blissfully funny and ingenious...never less than compelling * Mail on Sunday *
Three times in the reading of this book, the courage, compassion and simplicity of Amis's writing brought me to tears. As a portrait of sustaining love between a father and a son, Experience stands alone among the testaments * The Times *
