	A Clockwork Orange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Clockwork Orange is a speculative fiction novel by Anthony Burgess, published in 1962 and later the basis for the 1971 film by Stanley Kubrick.
		Burgess wrote that the title was a reference to an alleged old Cockney expression 'as queer as a clockwork orange'.
		According to Burgess, writing the novel was both a catharsis and an 'act of charity' towards his wife's attackers - the story is narrated by, and essentially sympathetic to, one of the attackers, rather than their victim.

		Lewis contends that Burgess (born John Anthony Burgess Wilson) was, in fact, several people at once, a "pathological liar" who lived in his books and experienced the world through a refracting set of identities.
		Anthony Burgess was one of the greatest late 2oth Century writers.
		Everything for which Burgess is faulted is replicated in Lewis; it seems, in fact, a contest to match Burgess point-for-point as to ultra-comprehensive general knowledge, for enthusiastic unwillingness to let the tiniest slight go un-noted, unforgotten, or unanswered, for the uttermost in picayune Arcanum, for cane-swinging, arm-thrusting mountebankism.

	Amazon.com: Re Joyce: Books: Anthony Burgess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		Anthony Burgess is best known as the author of brilliant novels such as A Clockwork Orange and Enderby; but he has also produced a substantial body of non-fiction, including several works about James Joyce.
		Burgess sees a synergistic relationship between Joyce's technique and the image of "reality" it was trying to reflect, a tension which engendered a constant, almost dialectical pressure, forcing his prose to continually evolve in order to meet new demands.
		Burgess has written a brilliant and humane study of the most brilliant and humane of twentieth-century novelists." Burgess makes a very good case not just for Joyce's significance, but for his importance as well: Joyce should be shared by everyone, not kept to the scholars and the critics.

		Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester and graduated from university there.
		I do not have the feeling that Burgess means to answer such questions, this being the main reason, I suppose, why the England he described seemed to belong to the future, or, I should say, rather to a time which cannot (yet or ever) be explained.
		Burgess does not try to explain, socially or psychologically, or in any kind of analysis, why the world is thus upside down.

	Scriptorium - Anthony Burgess
		He was born John Anthony Burgess Wilson on 25 Feb 1917 in Manchester; when he was two years old he would watch his mother die of influenza.
		Burgess did not approve of the inclusion of a glossary in one edition, since he wanted his book on brainwashing to have an apposite, programmative effect on his reader, who would have to "learn" nadsat as he/she went along.
		Burgess enjoys speculative biographies, mischievously turning and loosening the bolts which hold together the established forms of figures such as Keats (Abba Abba (1977)), Shakespeare (Nothing Like the Sun (1964)), and Sigmund Freud (The End of the World News (1982)).
