About this title

Review:

A bloody good read. -- Observer, 1 December 2002

A hugely entertaining comic fiction that explores all the agonies of authorship.." -- Independent, 30 November 2002

Lewis is an intellectual showman, a connoisseur of the arcane, a collector of titillating trivia. -- Express, 30 November 2002

There are passages of such brilliance ... that I found it exhilarating as well as infuriating. -- Lynn Barber, New Statesman, 2 December 2002

Book Description:

In Anthony Burgess, Roger Lewis tracks the author of A Clockwork Orange from Manchester to Malaya to Malta to Monte Carlo to create a deliriously kaleidoscopic modern classic about an antic disposition.
