Episode "You have to get into Amis, and you have to get past Amis." Janan Ganesh
Columnist for The Financial Times Janan Ganesh, speaks to Jack Aldane about the London he grew up in during the early 90s, and which is captured in one of Martin Amis's most celebrated novels, London Fields. Janan explains why, for years, he has consistently revisited the book (of which he owns multiple copies), and how he once found himself compulsively picking it up every day to consume 50-pages in each sitting.
They discuss the characters in the 1989 novel, including those Janan believes the story could have done without, and the one he believes is the greatest literary creation to roam London since the age of Dickens.
