And Other Questions presents Kingsley Amis at his most incisive and opinionated, turning his sharp wit on a wide range of subjects from classic literature to science fiction, jazz, and beyond. With the confident irreverence that defined his fiction, Amis argues passionately for his tastes and against his aversions, making no apologies for his contrarian stances on canonical figures and popular culture alike. The essays illuminate his belief that criticism should be honest, personal, and free from academic pretension, resulting in a tone that is bracingly direct and often wickedly funny. Readers encounter a critic who is as entertaining as he is provocative, offering reassessments of writers like Austen, Chesterton, and Ian Fleming with equal measures of admiration and gleeful demolition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810575921371,"sku":"2026200006725-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b522a01f-3b58-419b-b5fd-dc1c09b8c5aa.png?v=1779805503","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006725-secondhand-what-became-of-jane-austen-and-other-questions","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
