Inside Story Overview
An intensely personal and comprehensive “novelized autobiography” of the author's adulthood, Martin Amis’ Inside Story offers a rich account of not only the author’s but other famous writers’ lives, loves, friendships, obsessions, and struggles. The work is written from the first person perspective but traverses into the second person when, in the book’s “Interludials,” Amis provides “How to” instructions on becoming a writer. Examining such themes as faith, friendship, life, and death, Inside Story instructs, informs, and entertains its reader.
