Martin Amis, exhibitionist insanity? surely not

Martin Amis? Total prat! Wouldn't waste my time reading anything by him.

So pleased we've exported him somewhere else.

I did like this quote from Hitchens-

A Holocaust denier is a Holocaust affirmer.

Thanks. Enjoyed the tribute to his life-long friend by Amis. Hitchens can be maddening to some like me (e.g., his unwavering support for the war in Iraq), but I have always enjoyed his writing, wit and debating skills, having read "God Is Not Great", "Hitch-22", and viewed several of his debates via the net. And Amis is a highly skilled novelist - I loved "Times Arrow".

I wish Hitchens all the best in his fight for continued life.

I don't care enough about either of them to actually care about them, if you know what I mean, nor do I have any good reason to.

One egomaniac writing about another.
