There’s been a rash of stories about British novelist Martin Amis and his move to Brooklyn, which isn’t surprising to anyone who has followed his career. When Kingsley Amis was teaching at Princeton for one year when Martin was a child, on Christmas Kingsley gave his son a present of firecrackers. “What a country!” thought young Martin. For a full lineup of interviews over the years and lots of other good information, his official website is here. Amis is now in the hometown of Whitman, Miller and Mailer.
