“Here is the second sentence of Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine: We may perhaps put this in perspective in the present case by saying that in the actions here recorded about twenty human lives were lost for, not every word, but every letter, in this book.”
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.
