I Like It Here

I Like It Here is a novel by the English writer Kingsley Amis, first published in 1958 by Victor Gollancz.

The 'here' of the title is England, and the novel is about going away from here, to abroad.

Amis called it merely 'experience with style sauce' - and the novel uses material from his own life, his trip to Portugal - highly autobiographical - he would not write such an expicitly autobiographical novel again until later novels 1990-1995.
