Who is Kingsley Amis?

Kingsley Amis was born on 16 April 1922 in Clap ham, a place in south London.  Kingsley’s literary works is known for its wide variety and reach to every genre- novels, scripts, short stories, science and mystery. In his early career, he gained recognition as a comedy novelist though the multiplicity of his work removed this tag later and he became known as the master of every genre. Originally inclined to be a poet, Kingsley wrote poetries which draw heavily for their simple and accessible approach.  As a novelist, his first novel Lucky Jim may well be termed as his most famous work in which was apparently a part of the Angry Young Men movement in Britain. He wrote novels that were a reflection of his own life and thoughts. Among his other popular works was That Uncertain Feeling, which came in 1955, and I like It Here, published in 1958’. ‘Take a girl like you’ which was published in 1960, was his second best novel after Lucky Jim and gained him a huge popularity as an author.
