A perfect match of guest and subject... Every time this podcast returns to a novel it has already covered, it makes me want to re-read it yet again! (The scene with Richard and his son is one of the many Amis that sentences/phrases that has stayed with me.)

Outstanding episode, and what a coup! Features the least interesting ‘When I met Mart’ anecdote ever, which is nevertheless interesting! Flawed masculinity! Sordor (or -idness)! And is it me, or is David’s real voice a bit like Mart’s, as well as his literary one?! Great episode, thank you Jack.

Yaaaaas!

I often feel that we don’t talk enough about Mart anymore, so thank God for this magnificent series. Never, ever, stop.

🔊2026 HAS BEGUN! In 2019, the novelist Rob Doyle wrote in the @irishtimes.com that Amis's London Fields stood "damn near the summit of modern novelistic achievement." Does he still think that? NEW YEAR, NEW EPISODE 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXdU...

🔊 OUT THIS FRIDAY... Irish novelist Rob Doyle describes how reading London Fields began an "electrical storm" in his brain while on a long bus journey in South East Asia aged 23. From that point on, #martinamis would be a major influence on his work. @jackaldane.bsky.social
