Shorter Martin Amis: How can I hate Muslims? I put my dick in them!
* Also, seriously, how could you write in Money that Lorne Guyland wanted, in his description of a script idea he had, to beat a guy up with a "car tool"? Didn’t you have American friends at the time who could have told you that over here we call it a tire iron? Isn’t that what your editor is supposed to be for? This has stuck in my craw for nearly ten years.

Heh!
“Car tool” doesn’t make any sense in English, either. It’s just typical Amis hooptedoodle bollocks; you’ve got to imagine he’s never used a tyre lever, either, being about the queeniest member of an unusually queeny literary establishment.
More broadly, I think the conclusion on Amis is that he’s just not that good.
