TV heads are more interested in amusement than life, Martin. They think they've got one. (from Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉

‘Attlee, what did he do?’ Was he joking?

I can't help but think novels will become extinct soon after our generation dies. The audience was shocked to hear Amis doesn't watch television.

Well, novels will still be here, be written, and be published , but readers, the casual readers of literary fiction as opposed to professional/academic readers, will be extinct.

@@ledeyabaklykova Funnily enough Plato and his followers believed writing would be the death of storytelling. Writing is ultimately a skill and is considered by many alongside music to be the highest form of art. So as long as the arts remain; so shall writing/literature. The mediums will change in which people consume it-but the practice will remain for a long time to come I feel.

A good, intelligent interviewer. But, I do wish he'd hold his tongue, and allow Amis to speak.

"Almost blew me off my stool." He is too humble. He is apooet. Thatcher made Albion into a money grubbing maggot. Wow and a historian too. Does he write fiction?

An amazing statement, that Barack Oboma would not have been overwhelmed by corruption. From a man with Martin Amis' intellectual capabilities . . Then again: every human being has his/her weak moments. The man is a remarkable writer, and he should maybe not allow himself to be exposed to so many interviews

Thatcher was a narcissist prima donna educated in political economy by her wealthy husband. In the end she couldn't remember her lines.

The interviewer is dull, too chatty, and dumb. His questions are longer than the answers that follow. He loves the sound of his own voice. It’s kind of funny.

Goes with being a Guardian writer.
