Koba the Dread is the successor to Martin Amis's celebrated memoir, Experience. It is largely political while remaining personal.

The author's father, Kingsley Amis, though later reactionary in tendency, was "a Comintern dogsbody" (as he would later come to put it) from 1941 to 1956. His second-closest, and then closest friend (after the death of the poet Philip Larkin) was Robert.
