*SUCCESS* / BY P.H.S. / [FROM *THE TIMES*. OCTOBER 31, 1994.]
To succeed in matters of the heart, it helps to enlist Martin Amis. A literary agent tells me how during an important date he spotted the pint-sized writer eating at a nearby table in the fashionable restaurant *192* in west London. Anxious to impress, he sped over to the novelist when his lady friend went to powder her nose, and begged him to pretend to be an old chum. Gamely, Amis agreed. When the lady returned, Amis swanned over and offered an effusive greeting. "How are you doing, big boy?" he drawled with a pronounced stage wink. "It helped no end", beams the happy agent.
