Well it's certainly a great novel. Kubrick mostly adopted bad literature, but three time he took great books (Lolita, Clockwork orange, Eyes wide shut) and failed with all three, especially the last one. He turned Schnitzler's existential story into a pornographic mystery
i just "discovered" this genius and honestly i am surprised whenever i find out about another great artist because i tend to think i already know the best ones but here we go... a new finding!
I reckon its a very personal novel. Especially since Burgess stated it was written in 3 weeks, he must have sourced much of his own real life events in order to write a novel with such pace.
Wow Anthony Burgess was from Manchester?! The society of that day really did dictate your accent. Although I guess he was already of upper middle class status with nought Manc accent.
Yes but regarding the ultra violence from the very young generations there never seemed to me much media detailing such a thing besides A Clockwork Orange because back during the 'Mods and Rockers' days and the two World Wars kids including teenagers for the most part were kept in line more because of societal pressures including strict pressure from schools and familial pressures as there were more two parent homes back then so the running amok of youths back in the day were nothing like what was shown in the A Clockwork Orange novel and film.
That's got nothing to do with it, in fact the opposite, it's do with having our spirits crushed by emotional engineering. Controlled, brainwashed by the media, smartphones and God knows what else. Unable to speak ones mind, to behave in a certain manner.. This is all happening now, I can see your comment is from 9 years ago but it had already started then, but much worse now
Clockwork Orange is not that interesting to read and Burgess said it was not a very interesting novel. What he resented is that Kubrick called it " Kubrick's Clockwork Orange" and blew it up so that Burgess became more famous due to Kubrick's film, when he wished to become famous for his writing as writing, not as the source of a director's film. Stephen King also disliked what Kubrick made of his novel The Shining. There's a deep sense of misrepresentation. At least Graham Greene got famous for his writing, and several of his novels were turned into good films: but his writing as writing was good. Perhaps Burgess called the film good because a little of its stardust came his way.
Let us begin with this writer who may be a non de plume Anthony B/vicious fifteen year old droog in the central character of this 1963 classic. Where the criminals take over after dark, so to make it easy, another plot only in the dark, what does agent orange or is it clockwork orange have to do? Where a modern day Jekly & Hyde but only at night creatures appear murderers, head hunters, and such...
The book is written in nadsat a mix of British and Russian slag if you look up the nadsat dictionary on the Internet you will see all the words translated :)
Anthony Burgess has a mind like no other.
God bless Anthony Burgess, one of greatest writers of the 20th century, He was a genius who understood things decades ahead of his time.
At least he supplied material for a far greater artist.
I picture Daniel Craig portraying him if a biopic ever happens
How is Anthony Burgess "otherwise conventional"?
The book is so much better than the film. In the book you have to learn Russian slang. Makes you think a bit.
Most books are better reading is fundamental.
Well it's certainly a great novel. Kubrick mostly adopted bad literature, but three time he took great books (Lolita, Clockwork orange, Eyes wide shut) and failed with all three, especially the last one. He turned Schnitzler's existential story into a pornographic mystery
Burgess is not "otherwise conventionalist".

More of it please.
AB wrote one of the greatest novels of the 20th century with "Earthly Powers". Too bad it never got the acclaim it deserved.
What is this segment from? I'd like to watch the JG Ballard segment.
Interesting Burgess uses his real accent for Alex. Not the elocution lessons version.
I reckon its a very personal novel. Especially since Burgess stated it was written in 3 weeks, he must have sourced much of his own real life events in order to write a novel with such pace.
Goldifying
It wasn’t; Burgess wasn’t the most reliable guide to his own life.
Anthony burgess was a genius. 25 languages. Who can do that?
What's the name of this documentary? I love Ballard! I had goosebumps when I saw him in the end!
Does anybody know what documentary this is from? Wouldn't mind watching the whole thing.
I've just come to read the meter

I think there should be a trigger warning before any video featuring Anthony Burgess's hair.

Hahahaha I'm writing a paper now, can anyone tell me where the rest of the interview is?
Shouldn't the old veck have been left swimming in his own kroovey?
What documentary is this?

Leode Siefast
Working class origins, disguised by elocution lessons.
He was never ‘upper class’, and he rightly despised them.
watch his full Face to Face interview from 1989, it explains all
It's true, Burgess was prescient. He predicted all of the ultra violence that truly is happening today.
It was inspired by the violence between mods and rockers.
Violence isn't something that started last week, you know.
Do not two world wars constitute "ultra violence" ?
Yes but regarding the ultra violence from the very young generations there never seemed to me much media detailing such a thing besides A Clockwork Orange because back during the 'Mods and Rockers' days and the two World Wars kids including teenagers for the most part were kept in line more because of societal pressures including strict pressure from schools and familial pressures as there were more two parent homes back then so the running amok of youths back in the day were nothing like what was shown in the A Clockwork Orange novel and film.

Ah the prophecy in the book came true, I say holding my tablet - an extension of the idiot box television.
Anthony Burgess was shot by MI6

This book is so hard to read what the fuck lol
+Daniel Zarza Use context clues to help you with the made-up slang.
The book is written in nadsat a mix of British and Russian slag if you look up the nadsat dictionary on the Internet you will see all the words translated :)
Burgess just got the race wrong.
Piffle, the book is a drag, you wrote it to make a classical Buck, which you did,, let's have more honesty in our dialogues.
