The two faces of Amis - Features, Books - The Independent
Johann Hari interviews Martin Amis ([1], [2]) for the first time since the controversy over his "adumbrations" to Ginny Dougary. He tells us that he had three Muslim girlfriends, one of whom was just beginning to Westernise and whom he broke up with after just one kiss (another was South African and had no problems in that area). He loves his "thrillingly multiracial" city. However, Hari reminds him of his endorsement of Mark Steyn's rantings about Muslims somehow outbreeding others everywhere except America, and Amis really has no defence. Whatever you think about Hari, it's a very revealing read.
I'm not sure this gentleman knows what he thinks, or perhaps he does, but in this interview hasn't the nerve to admit it. I like the bit about Muslim girlfriends by the way, reminds me of the old "I'm not racist, I have black friends, but..."
thanks for this must have missed it before....
