Lucky Jim Resources

The title says it all. Here's what the British Encyclopedia thinks is worth knowing about ol' Kingsley.

Few writers could deliver a one-liner like Kingsley, so here's a whole page of them.

Yes, the man wrote some poetry. And yes, he was famous. So he passes the test for this site.

Probably the most well-known of any movie or TV adaptation. Check it out if you don't mind a black and white movie now and then. Aren't you curious to see how they cast the characters?

This was a lesser-known TV movie from 2003. But it's worth a shot if you can find a copy, since the IMDB users give it a decent rating.

This show only lasted 7 episodes, and if you check the ratings that IMDB users have given it, it's no wonder why.

An article by Amis in the The Paris Review. Pretty fancy.

Here, you'll find a rather touching piece by Martin Amis about his father Kingsley, even though Martin is known for being kind of a crank.

Geez, you can barely tell that it's old, right? Just kidding.

The BBC had a five-part series on Amis. See for yourself what he looks and sounds like as an older guy reminiscing about his past.

Here's Lucky Jim the way it was meant to be heard: being read by a cultured British gentleman.

For a little extra insight, check this out. But please tell us: is a robot reading this review?

Yup, this is Kingsley in his later years.
