Summary/Abstract: Directly contradicting Kinsley Amis's more traditional beliefs and realistic presentations, Martin Amis evinced respect for the stylistic innovations usually attributed to modernism and postmodernism, returning glory to those writers his father excoriated. No other father-son tandem has produced a corpus as sizable and significant as that of Kingsley Amis and his son, Martin Amis. They have maintained not only a quality of writing but also a duration of productivity that other literary families simply have not matched.
