  <about><![CDATA[Martin Amis is an English novelist, essayist and short story writer. His works include such novels as &lt;i&gt;London Fields&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Information&lt;/i&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;The Guardian&lt;/i&gt; writes that &quot;all his critics have noted what Kingsley Amis [his father] complained of as a 'terrible compulsive vividness in his style... that constant demonstrating of his command of English'; and it's true that the Amis-ness of Amis will be recognisable in any piece before he reaches his first full stop.&quot;

Amis's raw material is what he sees as the absurdity of the postmodern condition with its grotesque caricatures. He has thus sometimes been portrayed as the undisputed master of what the &lt;i&gt;NY Times&lt;/i&gt; has called &quot;the new unpleasantness.&quot;
