great writers all.. in their own ways.. Rushdie may me the hardest to fathom, his style is mystical, poetic.. Amis, brilliant prose, Mc Ewan to the point, poignant, very real.. a triumvirate of brilliance
you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Maverick Royce I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Marvellous. Three of four of the giants in my life, and the gaping hole was visible and tangible, and partly filled in by Hitch's inevitable presence as memory when ever those three meet. And 'Enduring Hysterical Sex'
love these guys, but it is a bit of self-love-in, there are other lads and lassies in contemporary fiction. its like they think theyre vidal, mailer and vonnegut
+Trev Gibb Well they rather are, really. They're three of the most legendary writers of fiction in the English language still living today. But believe me, as someone who makes his way to the 92nd Street Y quite often, these three are hardly the only people who give readings and talks at that wonderful institution. (And honestly, I'd take Vidal out of there and replace him with someone else myself; all three of these writers are much better than he, in my view. Just a personal preference, of course, but yeah. Gore became unbearably tedious about two decades ago, I feel like.)
Martin Amis is really a bad writer, like a clever sardonic freshman in a creative writing class. He's not the real thing. Sorry. Good for pub yarns but otherwise empty.
@@NG-dc2pk hey. for fiction, these are for me some of his best: (in order) ‘Money’; ‘Inside Story’; ‘The Information’; ‘London Fields’; ‘The Pregnant Widow’. for non-fiction, these are must haves: (in order) ‘The War Against Cliché’; ‘Experience’; ‘Koba the Dread: laughter of the twenty million’; ‘The Second Plane’; ‘The Rub of Time.’ All the best 🌿
His non-fiction is first-rate. 'The Rub of Time' will get you addicted to his prose. I could never really enjoy his fiction though. Too showy and smart-alecky with little substance. But hey don't take my word for it, I am not V.S Pritchett, just one of Virginia Woolf's 'common readers'.
two of my favourite writers alive...amis and mcewan...thanks a million uploader...loved it
Here are the three brilliant authors of our beloved world today ! They all deserve the Nobel Prize for Literature !

Mr. Hitchens is a LEGEND
Mr. Hitchens speaks TRUTH!!!!
Brilliant
Mr. Hitchens ROX FOREVER!
☺
RIP Hitch.
he was trash
RIP Martin Amis now, the future is relentless.
All of the writer friends of Christopher Hitchens! If only Hitch could be in this as well.
Hysterical sex means never having to say you're sorry.
Have been jealous of Kingsley's laddie since 1976, and he's still doing to me! Hate, hate, hate...
Marvellous.

Mr. Hitchens lasts FOREVER!
The 92nd St Y. New York City. What a treasure palace.

Mr. Hitchens is a wonderful curmudgeon.
Rushdie talks a lot but says nothing at all. His words are pointless garbage.
Salman is a terrible speaker and his book s are just as terrible
You should read Satanic Verses to learn about his Literary Mastery. Then comment here lol
@@Faseeh626 you are like his obsessed fanboy I see you everywhere defending him. Are you a bot? you troll.
I think he has a brilliant use of language but I loathe his writing. Haven't read Amis.
Martin Amis is really a bad writer, like a clever sardonic freshman in a creative writing class. He's not the real thing. Sorry. Good for pub yarns but otherwise empty.
You're a philistine, sorry.
@@mcoffely I have read Rushdie and McEwan but I haven't read Amis , which book of his would you suggest I should read first ?
