The book's aggressive sounding title is apt—Amis is a warrior when it comes to language.... Peppered with small Englishcruelties, sure, and the occasional assassination ... but this book also introduces us to a gentler side of Martin." —The Village Voice"Amis writes things you want to remember and repeat: he is original ... [and] a brilliant writer." —New Statesman"These essays glitter with elegant put-downs. . . .You read them admiring the way in which Mr. Amis keeps to his own rules about writing." —The Economist"[Amis] doesn't just review books, he rewrites them. . . . [His] signature style wasn't a leather-patches-on-tweed-jacket critic; no, he seemed a leather-patches-on-leather- jacket critic... .Whatever the book, there is no one whose review of it you'd rather read." —The GuardianThe War Against ClichéEssays and Reviews, 1971-2000Martin AmisCopyright © 2001 by Martin AmisISBN 0-375-72716-7To Kingsley and SallyAcknowledgmentsForewordOn Masculinity and Related QuestionsZeus and the GarbageIron John: A Book about Men by Robert Bly;The Way Men Think: Intellect, Intimacy and the Erotic Imagination by Liam Hudson and Bernadine Jacot;Utne Reader: Men, It's Time to Pull Together: The Politics of MasculinityI Am in Blood Stepp'd in So Far Hollywood vs. America by Michael Medved
