Was Kingsley Responsible for Martin's Books?

I've been reading Lucky Jim, by Kingsley Amis lately. Some of you might remember Kingsley as Martin Amis's Dad; others might tend to think of Martin as Kinglsey Amis's son; either way, this book is damned good, full of choice quotes:

"... Are you in love with him?'
'I don't much care for that word,' she said, as if rebuking a foul-mouthed tradesman.
'Why not?'
'Because I don't know what it means.'
He gave a quiet yell. 'Oh, don't say that; no, don't say that. It's a word you must often have come across in conversation and literature. Are you going to tell me it sends you flying to the dictionary each time? Of course you're not..."

And:

"... People get themselves all steamed up about whether they're in love or not, and can't work it out, and their decisions go all to pot. It's happening every day. They ought to realise that the love part's perfectly easy; the hard part is the working out, not about love, but about what they're going to do. The difference is that they can get their brains going on that, instead of taking the sound of the word "love" as a signal for switching them off."

Great stuff!
