'A good dry romantic comedy with a distinctive Amis wit. The Biographer's Moustache is light, funny and splendid in its prejudices, and at times touching in its compassion.' - MALCOLM BRADBURY, Mail on Sunday
'Biographers Moustache is rich in shrewd and mischievous social observation. The reader - or this reader, at any rate - shouts with laughter as another pretension is skewered. Amis allows his characters' graces and strengths to emerge gradually and stealthily; this underlying texture of his writing is part of his greatness as a novelist.' - PETER WHITEBROOK, Scotland on Sunday
'Full of characteristic Amisian qualities: wit, pace, linguistic dexterity, character, thoughtfulness.' - ERIC JACOBS, The Spectator
'Every bit as readable as any of its predecessors. Amis's extraordinary skill at shaping material and his ear for dialogue seem to be as sharp as ever.' - A. N. WILSON, Evening Standard
His controversial Memoirs was published in 1991. Among his other publications are Rudyard Kipling and His World, The Golden Age of Science Fiction, Collected Short Stories, Collected Poems, The Amis Anthology: A Personal Choice of English Verse and The Amis Story Anthology.
Kingsley Amis was awarded the CBE in 1981 and knighted in 1990. He died in October 1995.
