Amis, Martin - The Rub of Time Essays and Reportage, 1994-2017 (Knopf, 2018)

From one of the world's greatest modern writers: collected here is s ome of Martin Amis's best nonfiction work from over two decades, ranging from politics and sports to celebrity, America, and literature.

"Amis throws off more provocative ideas and images in a single paragraph than most writers get into complete novels."- The Seattle Times

As a journalist, critic, and novelist, Amis has always turned his keen intellect and unrivaled prose loose on an astonishing range of topics-politics, sports, celebrity, America, and, of course, literature.

He writes about finally confronting the effects of aging on his athletic prowess. He revisits the worlds of Bellow and Nabokov, his "twin peaks," masters who have obsessed and inspired him. And he turns his piercingly observant eye on Donald Trump, whom he finds "scowling out from under an omelette of makeup" in the run-up to the 2016 Republican Convention, and at a post-election rally, regarding his crowd of supporters with a "flat sneer of Ozymandian hauteur."

Overflowing with startling and singular turns of phrase, and complete with new commentary by the author, The Rub of Time is a vital addition to any bookshelf, and the perfect primer for readers discovering Amis's fierce talents for the first time.
