This study of Kingsley Amis, often thought of as merely a "Grumbler Laureate" inveighing against women, youth and modernized pubs, aims to show that his writings reveal an impressive range of approaches to questions of human motives and behaviour observed with a sharpness that can be both funny and very moving, and described with a deceptive artlessness. The discussion of Amis is set in the context of conflicting contemproary attitudes to fiction.
