Download or read book The Anti-egotist written by Paul Fussell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part biography, part critical appraisal, this book traces the influences that have shaped Amis' work and lends insight into a man readily characterized, particularly in later years, as a "literary rottweiler." Drawing attention first to Amis' life, then to his work--his book reviews, gastronomic criticism, poetry, and essays are treated here, as well as his novels--Fussell's even-handed yet engaging prose reveals the moral sensibilities that have informed, perhaps at times misinformed, Amis' writing.
