About The Author
Kingsley Amis
Kingsley Amis (1922-95) explored British society with humor and critique, particularly post-World War II. Born in London, his disillusionment is evident in novels like That Uncertain Feeling (1955). Other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.
