Martin Amis: "The Zone of Interest"
Martin Amis: "The Zone of Interest"
Martin Amis: "The Zone of Interest"
The “zone of interest” refers to the outer perimeter of the Auschwitz concentration camp. But in the hands of Martin Amis, one of the greatest authors in the English language, it becomes the terrain for a love story—though one with a violently unromantic setting. In a novel powered by both wit and pathos, Amis excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul. He is joined in conversation by Donna Seaman, senior editor for Booklist.

BBC 3 Proms.- Martin Amis.- The zone of interest
Novelist and essayist Martin Amis discusses 'The Zone of Interest', his 14th novel, in which he revisits the Holocaust for the first time since his controversial book, 'Time's Arrow'. He'll be talking to Philip Dodd about his use of language in writing about the death camps, a writer's relationship with his characters, why he wanted to explore how what one of his characters describes as 'a sleepy country of poets and dreamers, the most highly educated nation the earth has ever seen' yielded to 'such wild, such fantastic disgrace' and why novelists of his generation seem to be drawn to write about the Second World War.

With Martin Amis, John Freeman
The New School: The Auditorium at West 12th Street
PEN and Interview Magazine present this one-night-only experiment in the fluctuations of identity. Novelist Martin Amis and R.E.M's former lead vocalist Michael Stipe will be re-interviewed using the same questions posed to them by the magazine decades ago. They will then be asked to critique their earlier responses in a twist where current self meets old self and celebrity past haunts celebrity present.
