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.
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!
The book is so much better than the film. In the book you have to learn Russian slang. Makes you think a bit.
I picture Daniel Craig portraying him if a biopic ever happens
How is Anthony Burgess "otherwise conventional"?

God bless Anthony Burgess, one of greatest writers of the 20th century, He was a genius who understood things decades ahead of his time.
AB wrote one of the greatest novels of the 20th century with "Earthly Powers". Too bad it never got the acclaim it deserved.
Burgess is not "otherwise conventionalist".
Anthony Burgess has a mind like no other.

It's true, Burgess was prescient. He predicted all of the ultra violence that truly is happening today.

More of it please.
What's the name of this documentary? I love Ballard! I had goosebumps when I saw him in the end!
Interesting Burgess uses his real accent for Alex. Not the elocution lessons version.
