e/The War Against Cliche

Information
has gloss	eng: The War Against Cliché (2001) is an anthology of essays, book reviews and literary criticism from the British author Martin Amis. Like his previous collection Visiting Mrs. Nabokov, the book is composed of many pieces written over the course of Amis career, beginning in the mid-1970s as a journalist and following up to his period of recognition as one of Great Britains most acclaimed novelists. The book takes its title from one of Amis essays, an encomium to James Joyces novel Ulysses. Amis characterizes that novel as Joyces "campaign against cliché". Among the many authors reviewed are John Updike, Saul Bellow, Iris Murdoch, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Elmore Leonard and Philip Roth. Many of the essays also touch on pet topics of Amis, such as chess, football (soccer), masculinity, and nuclear weapons.
