What's it going to be then, eh? All things Anthony Burgess (author of A Clockwork Orange) from his Estate and Archive in Manchester, UK.
@anthonyburgess.bsky.socialConservative is not right. He was more an anti-authority floating voter and HATED Margaret Thatcher. Tax exile is true, yes. And monarchist, but only in the weirdest way possible, believing the Stuarts the only true royal family and that the Windsors were essentially illegitimate.
@anthonyburgess.bsky.socialThis week, Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, on the Bible, language, translation, and what the holy book looks like in the Space Age 🚀

@blooms-ghost.bsky.socialReposted by @anthonyburgess.bsky.socialAnthony Burgess came to speak where I went to university in the 70s. I went up to get him to sign my copy of 'Clockwork Orange'; it was a mass market paperback that had a glossary in the back that he'd not authorised so he tore it out and threw it away before signing it.
@lrb.co.ukReposted by @anthonyburgess.bsky.social‘Why 𝘯𝘰𝘵 work simultaneously on screenplays about James Bond and Jesus Christ? He was an omnivorous polymath to the end, relentlessly curious, a true freelance mind.’

Ian Penman in the next issue.
