2. On the Road
Episode 2 of 5
Martin Amis recalls a publicity tour of the US, where he is 'OJ'ed' and becomes a 'hireling' of his 'own novel'. From 2017.
Martin Amis was one of the most celebrated authors of modern times.
This is a round up of his non-fiction pieces from 1986 to 2016, and this week five compelling topics are aired.
Like many major writers, Martin experienced the highs and lows of the mega author tour.
Travelling across America these experiences are even more comic and strange. Praised by readers, heckled by fellow authors, bumping into Jack Nicholson, it's never a dull moment as a 'hireling of my own novel'.
Read by Bill Nighy.
Producer: Duncan Minshull
