{"product_id":"9780195087369-secondhand-the-anti-egotist","title":"The Anti-egotist","description":"Part biography, part critical appraisal, \"The Anti-Egotist\" aims to capture the essence of Kingsley Amis as a man of letters. Paul Fussell traces the influences that have shaped Amis's writing, ranging from his schooldays through military service to university teaching, as he emerged as a novelist, poet, and essayist. Revealing the profound moral sense that expresses itself in Amis's fiction and criticism, he paints a portrait of man who despises self-promotion in all its forms, savaging the world's show-offs, and restoring scepticism and honesty to postwar British writing. In recent years, Kingsley Amis has drawn considerable fire, thanks to his outspoken conservative opinions. In \"The Anti-Egotist\" Paul Fussell attempts to restore the literary reputation of this important writer.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027677356251,"sku":"9780195087369-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b8b7d537-a7ea-4daa-a41a-fed4c7feab49.jpg?v=1785091532","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780195087369-secondhand-the-anti-egotist","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
