Acclaimed British Novelist Martin Amis Passes Away at 73

British novelist Martin Amis, known for his rock ‘n’ roll sensibility and exploration of dark themes, has died at the age of 73 from cancer of the esophagus. Amis was a leading voice among a generation of writers that included Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdie. His best-known works include “Money,” “The Information,” and “London Fields,” as well as his 2000 memoir, “Experience.” Amis was also a celebrity in his own right, with his life often chronicled by London tabloids. His legacy as a writer and cultural figure will be greatly missed.
