    Bly respectfully and elegantly puts the smugly cynical Amis in his place, showing him how a mature adult man handles himself. Thanks for sharing this video!

    It always amazes me how people treated Bly back then, and how petty their criticism of him seems now. A lot has changed, many of the feminists who hated him then are likely Terfs now, and Amis wrote an autobiography that was mostly about his father. Go figure.

    on the day of his death, let me say i feel that this among all available here is the finest example of Martin Amis's literary and personal gifts; it's where i, anyway, came to pay tribute on hearing of his death. thanks to OP.

      It shows his gifts indeed, but also, alas, the more repugnant side of his character.

    The speaker is Martin Amis, who speaks about Robert Bly and Philip Larkin. (Amis is introduced by Saul Bellow.)

    Robert Bly delivers parry and thrust to MA and MA shows the sweat. Welcome to a Minnesota Man, Mr. A.

    I love Kingsley Amis - the man seemed funny - and his work was excellent … The poetry of Larkin is exemplary of a culture and time. I find Martin’s work patchy and intensely disappointing. As for the “man”, MA was clearly a lamentable blowhard… Vomit inducing sanctimoniousness.
    I left England and Amis and his leader Tony Blair in the late 90s - and I cannot feel anything but shame for my nation and the scummy direction it chose.

    Goodness me, Amis displays such effortless self-satisfaction that it would be eminently satisfying to kick him in the goolies. Now too late alas.
