Martin Amis talks about life with Elizabeth Jane Howard and father Kingsley Amis

Available for over a year

Martin Amis recalls ‘the mad clatter of typewriter keys’ as Jane Howard wrote. “Jane didn’t disappear into her study until the last possible minute. She would be gardening or cooking or staring out the window smoking and then in a flurry she would disappear into her study. And you’d hear the mad clatter of the typewriter keys and she would emerge an hour later having written twice as much as my father would in a whole day.” Photo Martin Amis by Adrian Sherratt at the Cheltenham Literature Festival 2014.
