"The heat was stifling as she rummaged in her purse." That's the first line of my debut novel.
LOL
almost finished London Fields and I can't believe how simply wonderfully Amis writes. A marvelous book.
I agree. Great novel!! "London Fields!!" I've never been to London; however, after reading "London Fields," I FEEL like I "know" London, just like I FEEL like I know "Boston" (even though I've never been to Boston) because I have read David Foster Wallace's, "Infinite Jest." However, London and Boston have surely changed much since the writings of "London Fields" and "Infinite Jest." Also! The movie "London Fields" produced by Johnny Depp (with his then wife Amber Herd) really sucked!! Horrible fucking move. Delbert Blanton, Kokomo, Indiana.
Love his style of delivery
Indeed art is a war against cliches -- Amis has got right to the core of what makes literature separate from popular fiction or any art; the way an artist makes his art is what Makes His Art. Cliches induce you to accept, not to think or feel about something in any new way; it's cookie cutter creation; what he's getting at is to take a reader on an unfamiliar path -- maybe tougher to walk at first, but when you've done it, the reward and satisfaction is more: he's made you see in a new way.
Each page of his 'London Fields'is a veritable symposium on how lyrical the horizons of the English language can be made to sprawl and ripple.Second only to Thomas Pynchon,perhaps the sharpest literary mogul on the planet!
RIP
literature is a war against cliches--great! Love it lol
@Smoochy44 I enjoyed "The Road" very much. It is one of the few books I had to read all in one day. It introduced me to the author and led me to read his "Blood Meridian" which might be his masterpiece.
As I write this, there have been 17,894 views of this clip... I think about 8,000 of those are mine.
I agree that it's strange seeing this guy in the flesh!
Amis would certainly agree!---Marisha Pessl may be the next big thing,on the wordsmith mogul forefront,too...
@spd13062 I'm curious, what was it about "The Road" that you found made it one of the worst novels you've ever read?
@oooISPYooo At no point does Amis ever say "This is all there is to writing." He does indeed say that weight of voice is something that is essential to good literature (he's insinuating this, anyway), and he couldn't be more right. To declare he's summed up all writing into a narrow definition by stating that avoiding cliches is a necessity is a sign that your powers of observation (a cliche right there) need some tweaking
Seen it.
Done it.
Got the t-shirt.
He went ballistic.
I don't think so.
Hello.
Very much enjoyed London Fields. Martin is starting to look more like his Father as he ages. As for Cormac McCarthy, The Road was one of the worst novels I've ever read. I can think of two dozen writers I'd rather read ahead of him.
💯
Yeah money's a great book. slightly disturbing though. Martin Amis is so fantastic, but weird to see him talking in the flesh, so to speak
@liv04r Amen.
I disagree. Cliches, Trite Expressions, Hackneyed Expressions, Idioms, and Redundancy is Human Life! Everything is being repeated, as nothing-is-new-under-the-sun. This Inherent Redundancy of Human Life is the foundation of Andy Warhol's Art. Now, I understand that an original metaphors are needed for true literary art. For example, in John Updike novel "Roger's Version," Updike writes about "Lobster claw desks."" Here, Updike compares a lobster claw to those student chairs that are part-chair-and-part-desk, the part desk resembling a "lobster claw" that wraps-around the student. I read "Roger's Version" many years ago. However, I can still remember parts of this amazing Updike novel because of its non-cliched-originality. However again! If I had all the experiences that John Updike had, then much of "Roger's Version" would seem cliched to me like much of "Roger's Version" was cliched to John Updike because everyone's life is filled with cliches. Regardless of all this, it is best to only use cliches within the quoted dialogue of the characters. Delbert Blanton. Kokomo, Indiana. www.amazon.com/Delberts-Bible-Delbert-Blanton/dp/1795081104/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XTUMS7H8GLN0&keywords=delbert%27s+bible&qid=1664009577&sprefix=delbert%27s+bib%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-1
Also! Martin Amis is bitching about cliches; yet, when he speaks, his words are punctuated with the filler "um" which is a "one-word-cliche." Ha. There's some irony. Whenever you speak, erase the filler "um" from your words. Practice this erasing.
That's why Andy Warhol's art is not very good.
Please, you native speakers of the Anglosaxon tongue, explain to a curious swede where and how this mans enfuriating but charming dialect was formed? Is he a form of brit with a curious dental affliction or an upperclass american?
lose the cliche leather...
true but unfortunately he gets the guests. yes he does not get the sublime in art, or the subtext of most meanings but in between his cutting people off an artistic guest may supply me with a moment of the unutterable-x-factor/zone call it what you will and it all will have been worth it.and not many mystics will be interviewers!
Please not how Rose says literature @ 0:14 : "li-tte-ra tueeree"
Charlie is funky! Charlie Rose is that is rela name?
