    <body><![CDATA[The pieces written immediately after 9/11 are the best and most incisive, and one in which Amis tags along with Tony Blair, from Ireland to the Oval Office to Baghdad, is fairly entertaining.

(It's true, as the cliche-hating Amis might argue, that precision in language is a prerequisite of precision in thought, but precision doesn't necessarily make for originality.)

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent reading. Amis is not afraid to call a spade a spade, so it's unsurprising that one or two thin-skins felt the need to hurl ludicrous accusations of &quot;racism&quot; at him. He's a tremendously gifted writer, astute observer and unrepentant realist.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The bastard's become a raging racist. Hugely disappointing for me, I've been reading Martin since I was 14, he shaped my literary sensibility, and now I am squarely in the demographic on which he has turned his racist gaze.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some interesting reflections on 9/11 but in general quite heavy going. Probably too densely written for someone like me - or rather my attention span.]]></body>
