Martin Amis`s amusing, insightful, and occasionally heartbreaking memoir does not flinch from tackling the difficult subjects in his life, including his relationship with his famous father, his troubled first marriage, his media-celebrity friends, and--not least--his new and much-publicized teeth. (Among other things, he compares his teeth to those of his mentors, Saul Bellow and Vladimir Nabokov.) A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
