Extractions: Reviewed by Dana Gioia Read more about Byrne at Amazon magnum opus but scored nearly a dozen brilliant near-misses. His best novels show such scope, intelligence, and extravagant originality that many readers share Gore Vidal's assessment that Burgess was "easily the most interesting English writer in the last half century."

Extractions: Anthony Burgess′ novel leaves room for so many discussions and interpretations, that it would fill ten books of the original story′s volume. This is what caused the most of my difficulties with this essay, as I couldn′t quite decide where to start. Should I write about "nadsat", Burgess′ invented language? Or should I perhaps analyse and judge the "Ludovico-technique"?
Anthony Burgess Papers, Biographical Sketch

Extractions: Anthony Burgess was born John Anthony Burgess Wilson on February 25, 1917, in Manchester, England. His mother and young sister died of influenza in 1919, leaving Burgess to a blue collar upbringing by his fathera cashier and piano playeran aunt, and later a stepmother. As a child, Burgess was made keenly aware of his Irish Catholic heritage. His education at the parochial Xaverian College instilled an interest in theological themes of good and evil, free will, and social authority which appeared in much of his writing years later. Burgess entered Manchester University in 1936 with the intention of studying music. Poor grades in physics blocked his acceptance into the Music Department, so he chose instead to focus on composition and language in Manchester's English Department. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1940, he entered the Royal Army Medical Corps, later transferring to the Education Corps. In 1942 he married Llewela Isherwood Jones, who he first met when both were students at Manchester. Burgess remained in the Army until 1946, serving in Gibraltar. After the war, he held teaching positions with Birmingham University, the Ministry of Education, and Banbury Grammar School. In 1954 he accepted a position with the Colonial Office teaching in Malaya and later Brunei.

Extractions: ISBN: 0-395-59510-X British writer Anthony Burgess is perhaps best known in this country as the author of A Clockwork Orange , later made into a movie by the same name. It may come as some surprise that early on he aspired to be a composer and gave up a career in music only when he discovered his true calling as a writer. Burgess' two interests come together in this odd little book, certainly one of the more unique commemorations of the 1991 bicentennial of Mozart's death. He sums up the book's purpose in a brief introduction: This is, in fact, a bewildered book, in which an attempt to understand Mozart is made through celestial dialogue, a Stendhalian effort at turning Symphony No. 40 into fiction, an opera libretto, and fragments of a film script; these various forms join with the author's own schizophrenia to answer the unanswerable: in effect, the meaning of music. The following 160 pages of literary/musical experimentation begin with the aforementioned "celestial dialogue," in which lesser composers such as Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Prokofiev and Wagner meet in heaven and engage in conversation. But Mozart never appears: He is busy giving harpsichord lessons to God, who has grown hands for the occasion. Of the remainder of the book two sections stand out. One is the opera libretto, a brief treatment of Mozart's life in
