Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Martin Amis" in English language version.
Night Train does not conform to the standards of the crime novel due to the absence of crime and a genuine culprit.
[In Night Train] we have the usual Amis pairing of an ugly, unlucky protagonist set against a beautiful, lucky one; the same pairing that we see in Success or The Information.
Last week Amis was called a racist. I saw him speak at the ICA last month. Was his negativity about Islam technically racist? I don't know. What I can tell you is that Martin Amis is the new Abu Hamza. ... Like Hamza, Amis could only make his nonsense stand up with mock erudition, vitriol and decontextualised quotes from the Koran.
