“In
his dreams, a flood of snakes and horse shit would cascade into the
bedroom from behind the picture. He would wake up screaming, but his
aunt would not take the picture away.”
-Andrew
Biswell on Anthony Burgess
A
couple of years ago I bought The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, a
biography on the Manchunian novelist, at Manchester Reads the Sixties, an event at 2010's Manchester Literature Festival.
I
got around to reading it recently. It's a fine book. Everything you
could want to know about the author of A Clockwork Orange- the man
raised in Harpurhey, Manchester and went on to become one of the most
influential novelists of the 20th century- it's in here,
right down to his masturbatory habits. Serious. The parts I found
most interesting were the details of his apparently random decision
to take his wife on a sightseeing trip to Russia. This developed his
knowledge of the Russian language, which- along with a knack for
other tongues- set him in good stead for his travels.
His
Russian was a main influence in his creation of the NadSat language.
This was a speculative dialect he developed for use by the teenage
tearaways in his most famous work, A Clockwork Orange- a book he grew
to hate once he was thrust into the limelight after Stanley Kubrick's
1973 screen adaptation.
Dr
Biswell's book is a comprehensive insight to the man's life, and the
research that has gone into it is incredibly deep. A must-read for
linguiphiles or Burgess fans.

I got the book signed by the author a few weeks ago. Check it out.
LOVE SPELLS THAT WORKS I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution.
ReplyDeleteMy husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr. Aluya a spell caster, can help get lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family.
