Amis was the son of another British writer, Kingsley Amis. Martin Amis was a leading voice among a generation of writers that included his good friends, the late Christopher Hitchens, Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdie.
Among his best-known works were "Money," a satire about consumerism in London, "The Information," and "London Fields," along with his 2000 memoir, "Experience."
Jonathan Glazer's film adaption of Amis' 2014 novel "The Zone of Interest," premiered Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival. The film, about a Nazi commandant who lives next to Auschwitz with his family, drew some of the best reviews of the festival.
