Renowned British writer Martin Amis, who died at 73, surpassed his father's legacy and gained prominence with his 1984 novel "Money." The book, known as "Money: A Suicide Note," captivated readers with its sharp and witty portrayal of greed during Thatcherite Britain and Reagan's America. Following the adventures of John Self, a self-indulgent advertising executive, the novel's dark humor rivaled his father's work. Amis's literary achievements include other notable works like "London Fields" and "Time's Arrow." Despite his success, Amis faced controversies and accusations but remained committed to his craft until the end.
