Martin Louis Amis (25 August 1949 – 19 May 2023) was an English novelist, essayist, memoirist, screenwriter and critic. He is best known for his novels *Money* (1984) and *London Fields* (1989). He received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his memoir *Experience* and was twice listed for the Booker Prize (shortlisted in 1991 for *Time's Arrow* and longlisted in 2003 for *Yellow Dog).* Amis was a professor of creative writing at the University of Manchester's Centre for New Writing from 2007 until 2011. In 2008, *The Times* named him one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
