This episode discusses Amis's first short story collection, loosely themed on nuclear war and its aftermath, and concludes that the stories are unsatisfying. On the way I discuss what Amis might learn from Scooby Doo about narrative, the art of the literary backhanded compliment, and whether the Nuclear Age presents different challenges to the Age of Anxiety.
There is a brief mention of schizophrenia and suicide.
