Overview

In these previously uncollected essays written over the past two decades by Anthony Burgess, the masterful English novelist and elegant stylist contemplates topics as various as oranges, Marilyn Monroe, Yiddish humor, dirty pictures, and the nature of God. His highlights include reflections upon literature and litterateurs, from such twentieth-century literary giants as James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf to the eccentric Sitwells to fellow novelists Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. Whether the subject is Charlie Chaplin or Margaret Thatcher, or Prince Hamlet, Burgess's one-man chorus is guaranteed to win your enthusiastic applause.
