Definition of martin amis in English English dictionary

born Aug. 25, 1949, Oxford, Oxfordshire, Eng. British writer and critic. The son of writer Kingsley Amis, he graduated from Oxford University in 1971.

His works including the novels Money (1984), London Fields (1989), and Night Train (1998) as well as the short-story collection Heavy Water (1999) feature inventive word play and often scabrous humour as they satirize the horrors of modern urban life.
