Kingsley Amis
Kingsley Amis (1922-95) wrote humorous yet highly critical works about British society, especially in the period following World War II. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.
