Descrição: Jenkins profiles author Martin Amis. In the Foreword to The War Against Cliche: Essays and reviews 1971-2000, a career-spanning collection of his journalism (literary and other), Amis recalled how, when they started out in the early 1970s, he and his friends and colleagues touchingly assumed that literary criticism was as essential to civilization as literature itself was. Furthermore, "the most fantastic thing about this cultural moment" was that, in the debate between the Two Cultures, Art vs Science, "Art seemed to be winning". Amis wrote this around the turn of the century. Amis achieved what he did, not through talent alone but also dedication--and crucial to that was appreciation, of writers he himself loved and admired: beyond all others, Vladimir Nabokov and Saul Bellow in prose, Shakespeare and Milton in verse.
