Martin Amis on thinking (or not) about nuclear weapons: "The man with the cocked gun in his mouth may boast that he never thinks about the cocked gun. But he tastes it, all the time." (Einstein's Monsters, 1987)pic.twitter.com/81utg5Uguw
(I don't agree with everything Amis writes in the fascinating introduction to "Einstein's Monsters." But he's got a lot of amazing lines, ones that make you say, "holy shit, what a line!" Nukes as a topic rarely get writing this striking.)
I think it was once written of Amis “to him the English language bows most deeply.” CK Williams’ poem in three mile island also communicates nuclear angst well. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48350/tar
He's a good writer, but I don't share his paranoia or pessimism regarding nuclear weapons. He is merely exhibiting a standard human reaction to dangerous forces beyond his control; hence, the family massacre reference.
