Essays collected
The Second Plane is Amis's seventh collection of nonfiction, drawing upon pieces written for The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, The New Yorker, and The New York Times between 2001-2007 and is by far one of the most controversial and divisive publications of his literary career to date.

Controversy
The Second Plane emerged following an accusation of racism levelled at Amis by Marxist theorist Terry Eagleton in 2007, following comments made by Amis in a 2006 interview.
