Although I have to say, my estimation of Amis went down a bit when I read an interview regarding TIME'S ARROW. The point of the book, it seems, is that the Nazis were wrong. Um, thanks for wisdom bro.

I do read his essays and journalism but even there I find him essentially grating. It's all so self conscious, like he's trying a bit too hard. He always think he's a bit too much of a showman with everything he does.
