Great stuff, thanks for uploading. Two writers at opposite ends of the spectrum: one obsessed with style and the other obsessed with plot and narrative. Never thought I would see the two in a room together. Fascinating.

Really? Which is which? I'd argue that they're both obsessed with style.

thank you for the post - just finishing. good training for the writers; or perhaps for those who cannot but write. Amis: "you write 'til you drop."

Amis responds to the question of aging with a big abstract answer - death. Sorry, DEATH. Leonard’s answer is “a big prostate” - specific, concrete, comical.

The irony when Charlie laughs at Martin's remark about love improving sex. Charlie's like, "pffhaha are you serious? Love makes sex better?! Tell that to the so and so I groped this morning"

@goblancas Right, he and his brother were too young to have even experienced sex, but they're really looking forward to it because of all the media hype, so when their father tells them of the importance of love they can only (mis)interpret it to mean it improves sex. On a side note, the above comment shows that a man can't say anything about sex without being accused of being a sexist/pervert by a simpleton.

I love the way Amis cited Kurt Vonnegut, Saul Bellow and Elmore Leonard as great US authors instead of the usual boring examples.

I do wonder if Martin spotted a niche in the market and aimed his novels about the lower classes to amuse and entertain the upper classes. I have enjoyed reading all of his books, even though he is well behaved.

Pardon my ignorance but until now I hadn't known who Martin Amis was. And now that I'm only halfway through this interview, Charlie asks questions that I would love to hear Elmore Leonard answer rather than be subjected to having to listen to that English fellow. Not going to run right out to get a book by him that's for sure. Can't wait to get to the library to check out a lot of Elmore Leonard's books.

At the way his words come out in a stylized fashion - he was supposed to be the interviewer but contrasted to Leonard (who is amazing but writes in common speech) Amis sounds more of an author than Leonard

Also it isn't true. A lot of poetry actually speeds time up. Baudelaire, Eliot, the symbolists, the imagists, Ashbery, a lot of the Americans. Ginsburg is "fast," a lot of african-american poetry is fast, Gwendolyn Brooks is fast. Shakespeare. I think he just means poetry doesn't have plot. He mentions Henry James -- I can't imagine any literature, poetry or prose, moving more slowly than James.
