Kingsley Amis discusses Tom and Jerry, The Castrati (In the context of his novel The Alteration), Rudyard Kipling, his politics, aging and his up-and-coming writer son Martin.
Lots of whiskey and smoking too.

So rare to see footage of Kingsley Amis. Thank you kindly for this!

Thanks! So sad to see his son Martin pass this year.

Always great to see a new interview with Kingsley Amis. They're sadly pretty scarce on RUclips. Thank you so much for uploading this!

People who aren’t cruel can also converse, it seems. Very pleasant to attend a conversation where no one is selling anything.

Kipling..awfully good..

[@TrevorHubbert-fv3fr]

It sounds like he's talking about the politics of 2024.

[@user-ew2iv4sy1i]

Brilliant!

[@haraldodunkirk1432]

The father of the master and great writer too. Host is a bellend.

[@louduva9849]

His granddaughter Fernanda is a babe, too.

⁠@@louduva9849do you know her?

[@MrDavey2010]

Harty is utterly charmless and gauche.

[@teddy1066]

Someone should edit out Harty so we can concentrate on Kingsley

[@Brandon-tk2rw]

he would definitely have his pronouns in his bio today

[@nigelhard1519]

Tonic. Does this type of person still exist? Went a bit downhill later. Too much booze.
