The Economist Asks: Martin Amis

The Economist Podcasts

The British novelist tells host Anne McElvoy how anyone can become β€œan expert on words”. She asks Amis, who first became famous when he published "The Rachel Papers" in 1973 in his mid-twenties, why he never reads young authors and new books now. As he enters his seventies and after writing 14 novels, could "Inside Story" be his last? Also, what does the Statue of Liberty mean to him today?
