Martin Amis
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Martin Amis is a well-known novelist from London, England. His career spans four decades, with one of his first books "The Kleenex Journals" winning the Somerset Maugham Award for pornography disguised as literature. Most of his books are set in West London, where he lives in a cardboard box and drinks warm Special Brew out of the can. His 1984 novel "Spare Change?" is based around his home life, but includes a healthy dose of deviant tramp sex to maintain the reader's interest.
Amis' 1986 novel "Paddy Fields" tells the story of an Irish writer returning to his native Vietnam and becoming mixed up in a real-life murder plot. There is a surprise ending when all the protagonists are devoured by a giant black hole shaped like an anus.
His daring novel about London public houses, "Time Gentlemen, Please" is set in a universe where time does not behave as in real life. For example, when the anti-hero drinks sixteen pints, time has no meaning and he is magically transported to the next morning, in a bedroom with strange wallpaper and sleeping next to a huge swamp donkey of a woman with no memory of the intervening events.
Following the success of this book, Amis obtained a huge advance from his publisher but spent it all on strong cider and ended up having his remaining teeth knocked out in a brawl over a discarded cigarette butt.
Amis' later novels are somewhat less accessible to the ordinary reader. They include "Heavy Water; how to synthesize deuterium oxide", "Yellow Dog; a genealogy of the Australian dingo" and "The Information: SQL database design and performance tuning". His newest novel is called "The Adventures of Rick Hardslab," all of his novels include scenes of gratuitous zoophilia or auto-erotic strangulation and are therefore worthy of attention.
Oscar Wilde has been quoted as saying of Amis' work, "Ooh, it's rather good, isn't it, especially that bit where the hero takes her roughly from behind...and the bit where they shag in the bath...and the drug-crazed party where the dwarf gets it from the rear...and...excuse me, I must visit the lavatory".
Amis is the son of the late Kingsley Amis, who was notoriously thrown out of Paradise for making lewd suggestions to the spirit of Virginia Woolf.
