About the Author:
Anthony Burgess wrote over fifty books, including A Clockwork Orange, Earthly Powers, the Enderby novels, Byrne, and A Dead Man in Deptford (soon to be a major motion picture). He was a Visiting Fellow of Princeton University and a Distinguished Professor of City College, New York.
Review:
"Bright, racy...knowledgeable and humorous, alternately sensible and quirky." -- Terry Eagleton "Anthony Burgess's wonderfully well-stocked mind and essentially wayward spirit are just right for summoning up an apparition of the Bard which is more convincing than most" -- David Holloway * Daily Telegraph * "Animated by affection and an understanding of the creative imagination that only a creative writer can bring to bear" * Atlantic * "A smooth-flowing narrative, often enlivened by Anthony Burgess's Joycean appetite for linguistic fantasy" * The Economist *
