Martin Amis, Acclaimed Author of Bleakly Comic Novels, Dies at 73 (Published 2023)

In books like “Money” and “The Information,” he created “a high style to describe low things,” as he put it. He found more renown as a critic, and a measure of unease as his famous father’s son.

The Burden of the Best?

From self-belief to self-care.
