Experience: A Memoir by Martin Amis

2.0

Some good stuff in here: Amis as a youth, slouching around Sloane Square, trying to pick up women; Amis suffering the glowers of his father, Kingsley; Amis dealing with having all of his teeth replaced by implants (yikes); Amis coping with the murder of his cousin by a notorious serial killer; Amis dealing with an illegitimate child. All great material for a memoir, but somehow written in such a peevish, self-satisfied voice that we are never allowed to feel for him at all. Was a chore to get through.
