This book is a combination of autobiography, stories of friends past and present, historical and political commentary, a bit of a writing workshop with some literary criticism thrown in for good measure.
It is long and detailed but also compelling. He ponders on his intimate relationships, but his relationship with Hitch (Christopher Hitchens) is one that had a lasting and prolific impact on Amis.
Reading it is like sitting in a cosy bar, fireplace alight, a single malt (no ice) on the table and Amis cosseted in a comfy lounger holding court.
