Items related to The Real Life of Anthony Burgess
The first comprehensive biography on the life of English novelist, critic, and composer Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange. Admired worldwide for his literary novels, including the masterpiece Earthly Powers, Anthony Burgess also achieved notoriety for the ultra-violent shocker, A Clockwork Orange. In this new biography, Andrew Bisswell charts Burgess' life from his solitary and motherless childhood to his triumphant emergence as a writer, critic, and composer. He also casts new light on Burgess' complicated relationship with director Stanley Kubrick, looks with sensitivity at his tempestuous first marriage, and explores his erotic entanglements with Graham Greene and William Burroughs. Drawing on extensive interviews, unpublished writings, letters, and diaries, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess reveals both the writer and the man as never before.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. WINNER OF THE PORTICO PRIZE 2006 Anthony Burgess has always attracted acclaim and notoriety in roughly equal measure. He is admired for his literary novels, but known to a wider audience as the author of the ultra-violent shocker, A Clockwork Orange. Burgess was a brilliant polymath, a composer, and a man for whom chaos and creativity, fact and fiction, existed in a complex and unique balance. Drawing on his fraught relationships with publishers, friends and his first wife, as expressed in interviews, unpublished writings, letters and diaries, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess reveals both the professional writer and the private man as he has never been seen before. 'The Real Life of Anthony Burgess is the biography all Burgess fans have been waiting for and which the great man himself richly deserves: revelatory, scrupulous, sincere and fascinating' William Boyd, Books of the Year Guardian 'Biswell's absorbing new life . . . is a work of scholarship, understanding and sympathetic portraiture' Observer 'He has shed great light on a writer, his personality and his work. This is a biography of the highest class' Herald 'As the first Burgess biography of any consequence it is long overdue' Sunday Telegraph The Real Life of Anthony Burgess was shortlisted for the inaugural Glen Dimplex New Writers' Award. The most comprehensive life available of this major writer and extraordinary man Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
