	1	Jacobs, Eric. (Kingsley Amis.) KINGSLEY AMIS: A BIOGRAPHY. St. Martin's Press, New York, (1998), Ist U.S. edition. 392 pp, 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photos. "Kinglsey Amis arrived on the English literary scene with the publication of his classic novel, 'Lucky Jim' in 1954, and few writers since have provoked such wildly disparate degrees of laughter, admiration, and contempt in the reading public. For better or worse, Amis was known almost as much for his personality as for his work as a novelist - for his outspoken nature (one columnist called him a 'literary rottweiler'), his unfashio n a b l e p raise for Thatcherism, and his devotion to whiskey - and in this, the only athorized biography of Amis, Eric Jacobs skillfully captures that personality with sympathetic detail and healthy doses of Amisian wit. Amis's life was in turns b ot h tr ag i c and triumphant, and from it Jacobs manages to spin a narrative that mirrors the sprightliness and originality of his subject's work." Two soft wrinkles at top of preliminaries - from maunfacturing process. Dust jacket has light e dge wr in kli ng, l ig ht rubbing. VG/VG Price: 10.00 USD
