Kingsley Amis was born in London in 1922 and died in 1995. He wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories, but is best remembered as the novelist whose works offered a comic deconstruction of post-war Britain.

His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986) which won the Booker Prize.
