British novelist Martin Amis dies aged 73 - reports
By Sean SeddonBBC News
Martin Amis, one of The Most celebrated British novelists of his generation, has died aged 73, the New York Times reports.
He died of oesophageal cancer at his Florida home, The Paper said, quoting his wife.
Amis is best known for his 1984 novel Money and the 1989 work London Fields .
He authored dozens of novels and non-fiction books, and is widely considered one of The Most influential writers of his era.
Born in 1949 in Oxford, he was The Son of the novelist and poet Kingsley Amis . The younger Amis followed in his father's footsteps with his First Novel , the Rachel Papers.
Published in 1973 while he was working at The Times Literary Supplement, it won the Somerset Maugham award The Following year.
The Rachel Papers was The First of a string of notable works, which alongside writing by contemporaries like Christopher Hitchens , Salman Rushdie , and Ian Mcewan , are considered defining works of the 1980s.
Money, published in 1984, was his most acclaimed work and became one of the decade's most iconic novels.
The Book , set in New York and London, follows a director of adverts as he attempts to make his first feature film, and was based on Amis's own time as a script writer on Saturn 3 , a widely-panned sci-fi film starring Kick Douglas.
His work was often characterised by its darkly comic subject matter and satire. He also frequently returned to the subject of The Holocaust throughout his career.
Amis was also known as a public intellectual and an often controversial commentator on Current Affairs and politics.
