Author Martin Amis has died following a battle with cancer aged 73.

The novelist, who was seen to have redefined British fiction during the 1980s and ’90s, died of esophageal cancer, at his home in Lake Worth on Friday, his wife Isabel Fonseca said.

During his writing career Mr Amis published 15 novels and is best-known for his London trilogy of novels — 'Money: A Suicide Note' (1985), 'London Fields' (1990) and 'The Information' (1995).

Mr Amis, in an interview with The New York Times Book Review during 1985, said:  “What I’ve tried to do is to create a high style to describe low things: the whole world of fast food, sex shows, nude mags. 

“I’m often accused of concentrating on the pungent, rebarbative side of life in my books, but I feel I’m rather sentimental about it. Anyone who reads the tabloid papers will rub up against much greater horrors than I describe.”
