Martin Amis, the swashbuckling bad-boy of English literature, has just published a story collection which spans over 20 years of his career. Marked by his impressive wit, the nine stories in Heavy Water and Other Stories are testament to Amis' wonderful sense of humor and artistic brio. In this issue of Bold Type we offer "Career Move," a story from the collection that imagines a world where poets are treated like Hollywood royalty and screenwriters toil away in oblivion.
