A review by cameronbradley
Inside Story by Martin Amis
5.0
Inside Story is a masterful Martin Amis novel, but I can't recommend it to everyone. If you're not at least quasi knowledgeable of certain literary figures, chiefly: Christopher Hitchens, Saul Bellow, Philip Larkin, or Kingley Amis; or, if you're not already a Martin Amis fan, then I feel this novel isn't going to have the impact that it does for someone like me.
I highly recommend starting with a novel like Amis's Money or at least becoming aquainted with the aforementioned authors before tackling this book, which concerns itself with the respective deaths of each of the real-life characters, as well as the end of life in general, while providing insight into writing and literature by one of England's (in my opinion) finest writers.
