金斯米.艾米斯是英国现代著名小说家和诗人，是英国五十年代中期“愤怒青年”中的重要之一。他于1922年4月出生于伦敦，1949年至1961年在威尔士的斯旺西大学担任英语讲师，1961年至1963年在剑桥大学担任评议员。其作品除《幸运的吉姆》外，还有长篇小说《那种莫名的感觉 》、《我喜欢在这里》、《找一个像你这样的姑娘》、《一个英国胖子》、《我现在就需要》和短篇小说集《我的敌人的敌人》；另有三步诗集和一系列的文学评论文章。艾斯米在其所有作品中，都显示出了一种驾驭语言的才能。他与同时代的其他英国作家一道，极力反对那种过分讲究文雅的传统的文学风格。他的最大艺术特点，是作品情节复杂，人物幽默，笔调极其风趣活泼，善于刻画人物的心理活动，善于运用夸张手法描写并嘲讽英国知识阶层的性格特色。
