1. Afternoon Listening: Kingsley Amis’s Desert Island Discs

    Recorded around the time The Old Devils was published.
    Topics covered: music (of course), childhood, Communist-Party membership, academic failure, the “Welsh temperament,” the publication of Lucky Jim, novel mechanics.
    Revealed: Amis’s fondness for jazz (apparently no secret).
