KINGSLEY AMIS

1922 - 1995

Writing as: Kingsley Amis, William Tanner


Knighted in 1990, Kingsley Amis became an overnight success with the publishing of his first novel, Lucky Jim, in 1954. For the next twenty years, his novels possessed a dark comedic feel to his protrayals of modern life. He also dabbled along the fringes of science fiction for a while. His love of James Bond novels which resulted in his writing several "how-to" books on the fictional spy, brought him the chance to write a Bond novel of his own.
