“Kill me, you fucking fool!”

Kingsley Amis, as he lay dying, to his son Philip.

  1. I feel this to be an unfair and pompous thing to say ……… a father to a son who could only get into very grave trouble by following his father’s wishes.
    I suppose the spirit of the command may have been re-assuring that K.A was not afraid of death.
    But, I hope I might avoid such posturing and grandiosity in my final days – hopefully with my daughter and wife at my side at least some of the time.
