Martin Amis
British novelist celebrated for his mordant satirical voice and technically dazzling style in dissections of late-capitalist culture. His autobiographical novel Experience and his fiction about the Holocaust demonstrate surprising range. He was one of the dominant presences in British literary life for four decades.
