Skimming the weekend news reports about Amis's views on Muslims in Britain, I missed this part:
He... admitted that he had abandoned a novella called "The Unknown Known", a satire of Islam, because "it was incredibly offensive, just too serious to write satire about"....
Note, though, that he's not in an apocalyptic frame of mind:
Amis, 57, returned to Britain last month after 2½ years in Uruguay, where part of his wife’s family lives. He said that he had been struck by how successful British society appeared when viewed through fresh eyes. "It looks like a multicultural society that’s working apart from a few miserable bastards."
Amen to that.
