His collection, The Rub of Time, features critical pieces on authors such as Nabokov, Bellow, and Larkin, as well as humorous ruminations on various topics, including sport, Las Vegas, and the pornography industry. The book also includes essays on politics, particularly the American election campaigns of 2012 and 2016. Despite Donald Trump's rise to power, Amis is there to provide commentary on the situation. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 September 2018\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the great novelists writing today, none shows the same gift as Martin Amis for writing non-fiction – his essays, literary criticism and journalism are justly acclaimed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rub of Time \u003c\/i\u003ecomprises superb critical pieces on Amis’s heroes Nabokov, Bellow and Larkin to brilliantly funny ruminations on sport, Las Vegas, John Travolta and the pornography industry. The collection includes his essay on Princess Diana and a tribute to his great friend Christopher Hitchens, but at the centre of the book, perhaps inevitably, are essays on politics, and in particular the American election campaigns of 2012 and 2016.
