Laskowski finds Amis's greatest achievement in the products of his comic genius, which is grounded in an exquisite appreciation for, and handling of, the rhythms, cadences, and syntax of the English language. Inextricably linked with Amis's comic sense is his moral seriousness."--BOOK JACKET. "Laskowski shows how Amis's novels require the reader not only to make linguistic and cognitive sense of a chaotic social setting but also to act as ultimate moral arbiter in a world from which faith and belief have vanished."--Jacket.
