Books of the Century is an anthology of reviews, essays and letters that appeared in The New York Times Book Review between 1896 and 1996.

 Hockney's Alphabet, edited by Stephen Spender. In 1991,  Sir Stephen Spender invited a number of distinguished writers in Britain and America to contribute original texts for an alphabet specially drawn by David Hockney.

What Happened to Me on My Holiday. The New Yorker (July 21): 64-67. Densely autobiographical story, narrated by a fictional version of Amis's son Louis, about the death of a close family friend.

"I don'd wand id do be glear: do be all grizb and glear" (64).
