Letter: John Pilger obituary. Published: PM. Micheline Presle obituary. Ronnie Campbell obituary. Iris Apfel obituary.

The writer Martin Amis , who has died aged 73 of oesophageal cancer, delighted, provoked, inspired and outraged readers of his fiction, reportage and memoirs across a literary career that set off like a rocket and went on to dazzle, streak and burn for almost 50 years. His scintillating verbal artistry, satirical audacity and sheer imaginative verve at every level from word-choice to plot-shape announced a blazing, once-in-a-generation talent. He seldom disagreed with Christopher Hitchens , the journalist and essayist who was his soulmate and intellectual lodestar. Amis stirred envy and emulation, ignited controversy, courted scandal. Above all, though, he gave pleasure. His gift of laughter followed him even into Auschwitz in his novel The Zone of Interest. Critics could find its presence an embarrassment. Admirers never did.

American interior designer, collector and stylist regarded as one of the great exotics of 20th-century fashion. Iris Apfel was finally recognised as a great, original fashion stylist in her 80s, when the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in New York had a sudden gap in its exhibition schedule. Many curators knew Apfel, who has died aged , as a collector stashing away clothes, especially costume jewellery, both couture-high and street-market-low, so the institute asked to borrow some of her thousands of pieces. When Apfel wore them herself, dozens at a time in ensembles collaged fresh daily, they had zingy pzazz, so she was invited to set up the displays. There was no publicity budget, and her name was modestly known only in the interior decor trade, yet the show, Rara Avis: Selections from the Iris Apfel Collection , became a huge success after visitors promoted it online.
