En 'The Biographer's Moustache', Kingsley Amis nos presenta a Gordon Scott-Thompson, un escritor en apuros que recibe el encargo de escribir la biografía del veterano novelista Jimmie Fane. La tarea se complica debido a las peculiaridades de Fane, un snob con aversión a los jóvenes con bigote y a la pronunciación moderna. Gordon, apegado a su bigote y poco cuidadoso con el lenguaje, deberá sortear las exigencias de Fane y las opiniones de su esposa Joanna, quien aún no decide qué siente por los bigotes. Una historia que expone el mundo literario con pretensiones y revela el potencial del amor a través de las diferencias sociales.
Sir Kingsley William Amis was an English novelist, poet, critic and teacher. He wrote more than 20 novels, six volumes of poetry, a memoir, short stories, radio and television scripts, and works of social and literary criticism. He is best known for satirical comedies such as Lucky Jim (1954), One Fat Englishman (1963), Ending Up (1974), Jake's Thing (1978) and The Old Devils (1986). His biographer Zachary Leader called Amis "the finest English comic novelist of the second half of the twentieth century." In 2008, The Times ranked him ninth on a list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945. He was the father of the novelist Martin Amis. Amis was knighted in 1990.
