Allan Gregg In Conversation (audio)

Martin Amis talks about his memoir "Experience" which was written five years after the death of his father, writer Kingsley Amis. This was deliberate as Martin felt it would have been too intrusive to have written while his father was still alive. He recalls his often turbulent relationship with his father and feels that writing this memoir was somewhat cathartic. He talks also of his admiration for and relationship with Saul Bellow; of the demise of American Jewish writers and his love for America. (Originally aired September 2000)
