Madonna had Sex to promote, her book of erotic photographs, but decided she didn’t want to meet our man
In 1992, Martin Amis was supposed to interview
Madonna about her controversial coffee-table book, Sex, but it didn’t quite go as planned (‘Madonna exposed,’ 11 October).
Amis found himself ‘stacked like a package tourist above her fogbound airport’ and dealing ‘in best post-modern style, with her people’s people: her agent’s agent, her assistant’s secretary’s assistant’s secretary’. Madonna had changed her mind about the interview, said Amis, because he was too famous.
