“No pleasure is worth giving up for the sake of two more years in a geriatric home in Weston-super-Mare.”
- Kingsley Amis

He wrote more than 20 novels, six volumes of poetry, a memoir, short stories, radio and television scripts, and works of social and literary criticism. In August 1995 he fell, suffering a suspected stroke. After apparently recovering, he worsened and died on 22 October 1995 at St Pancras Hospital, London.
