HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Amis, Kingsley (William) English novelist and poet. He was associated early on with the Angry Young Men group of writers. His sharply ironic works include the best-selling Lucky Jim (1954 his first novel), a comic portrayal of life at a provincial university. His later novels include the satiric comedy The Old Devils (1986), for which he won the Booker Prize. His other novels, written in a variety of genres, include the spy story The Anti-Death League (1966), the ghost story The Green Man The Riverside Villas Murder (1973), which imitates a classic detective story, and The Alteration (1976), which imagines a 20th-century society dominated by the Catholic Church. He was the father of writer Martin Amis. He was knighted in 1990.

Literature Home Page Next Author (Wood) ... Biography Kingsley Amis and his Novels Colonel Sun Sir Kingsley Amis was born on 22nd of April 1922 in London, as the son of a business clerk. Born into the lower middle classes and educated at the City of London School, Amis rose to Oxford University. In his young adulthood Amis was known as a radical and a 'supreme clubman, boozer and blimp'. By his older age he would be known as a conservative critic of contemporary life and manners. His first novel, 'Lucky Jim' was published in 1954 and was an instant success. Amis was categorised as one of the 'Angry Young Men' who emerged in the 50's. Until 1963 Amis worked as a lecturer in Swansea and then at Cambridge University. After Ian Fleming's death in 1964, Glidrose decided to continue the Bond franchise with a series of well-known authors each writing a book under the pen-name Robert Markham. However, only Kingsley Amis took up the offer, and in 1968 his 007 novel, Colonel Sun was published. Bond fans now consider it a classic, although sales proved disappointing.
