Review
"Extraordinarily lively, amazingly zestful, gutsy, bawdy fun" (Sunday Express)
"This autobiography, packed with extraordinary moments... provides a unique picture of today's literary world. It also has the effect of pinning Burgess down, making him, improbable as he is, real and believable. We will, I think read him better for this, and appreciate him more" (Observer)
"What Burgess ''shows off'' in these pages is the vivid interest that a writer's life can hold when it is lived by a writer with a robust temperament, a showman's appetite for vulgarity and the kind of gargantuan, omnivorous learning that helps give polymathy a good name... You've Had Your Time is an exhilarating book which, like the best of Burgess's novels, fulfills the ancient obligations of delighting, instructing and moving with incomparable panache" (Independent)
"In two huge volumes of "confessions" Burgess wove a vast tapestry of his life. William Boyd, an admirer, said they were among the best novels that Burgess ever wrote" (Guardian)
Book Description
Following Little Wilson and Big God, this is the second volume of Anthony Burgess's autobiography, spanning the years from 1959 - 1982, from the start of his professional writing career to the centenary of James Joyce's birth and its effect on Burgess.

You've Had Your Time
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Bueno. : You've Had Your Time es la segunda parte de las confesiones de Anthony Burgess. La narración comienza en 1959, con el regreso del autor a Inglaterra desde Brunei y, tras la explosión de un pronóstico que le dio un año de vida, el inicio de una carrera de escritor profesional que aún está en flor. Termina, algo arbitrariamente, en 1983 con las celebraciones del centenario del nacimiento de James Joyce, que provocan ciertas conclusiones sobre la relación entre la literatura y la vida. La vida que se describe aquí es la de un hombre desesperado por ganarse la vida escribiendo. La escritura comprende todos los medios, incluido el cine, y el lector aprenderá sobre empresas cinematográficas que tuvieron éxito y fracasaron, novelas que los críticos gruñeron, periodismo que escandalizó a los moralmente escrupulosos. Un extraño matrimonio termina con la cirrosis de la esposa, un segundo matrimonio trae un renacimiento triunfal del sexo, la energía creativa y los viajes al extranjero, así como una paternidad ilegítima hecha legítima. EAN: 9780140158830 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: You've Had Your Time Autor: Anthony Burgess Editorial: Penguin Idioma: en Páginas: 416 Formato: tapa blanda.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. This is the second part of Anthony Burgess's confessions, the first volume of which was entitled "Little Wilson and Big God". The narrative begins in 1959, with the author's return to England from Brunei and, after the explosion of a prognosis which gave him a year to live, the start of a professional writing career which is still in gaudy flower. It ends, somewhat arbitrarily, in 1983 with the centenary celebrations of James Joyce's birth, which prompt certain conclusions about the relationship between literature and life. The life depicted here is that of a man desperate to earn a living through writing. The writing comprises all the media, including film, and the reader will learn about cinematic enterprises that succeeded and failed, novels the critics snarled at, journalism that scandalised the morally scrupulous. Tanned, foxed. 416 pages. Seller Inventory # 1580450
