Celebrated British Novelist Martin Amis Passes Away at 73

Martin Amis, one of the most celebrated British novelists of his generation, has died at the age of 73. He authored 14 novels and several non-fiction books, and is widely considered one of the most influential writers of his era. Amis is best known for his 1984 novel Money and the 1989 work London Fields. His work was often characterised by its darkly comic subject matter and satire. Amis had a truly recognisable voice and was a British writer who bridged the gap between the somewhat cosy style of the English novel that preceded him and the expansive fiction of America.

Remembering Martin Amis: A Legacy of Comic Brilliance.

Martin Amis, the acclaimed British author known for his "London trilogy" of novels, has died at age 73 from esophageal cancer. Over the span of his career, Amis published 15 novels as well as works of nonfiction and collections of essays and short stories. He turned his gaze inward with his well-regarded memoir, 2000’s “Experience.” Amis' distinct writing style was often filled with a caustic and cynical tone in his examination of modern life, leading him to be regarded by many as an enfant terrible.
