Mike has been the Boffins storeman forever, it seems. Mike is also a writer of fiction and poetry. His 2 novels Old Jazz and The Music of Dunes were published by Fremantle Press, and are still available on request at Boffins. He has also published short fiction and poetry in various Australian literary journals. His reading tastes are wide, but mostly fiction and biography.
A daunting read at 500 pages plus, but for dedicated Martin Amis fans an intriguing journey into the life and times of this engaging author. We can forgive moments of over-indulgence as the ground covered within this volume is a landscape of daunting scope, dealing with the author's engagement with other writers, his family, the state of the World through the vast spectrum of hope and despair. For this reader his long and powerful friendship with Christopher Hitchens was one of the mainstays of the book. The style is captivating and a book you can read a chapter, put aside, and return to on those sleepless nights, or whenever time permits. And, now that Xmas is just around the corner, the perfect gift for those you know have Martin Amis fiction on their bookshelves.
