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.
