A sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, the author sheds light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears', creating a critique that is literature in its own right.
In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell''s 1984 in one book. The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called ''an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears'', creating a critique that is literature in its own right.Part two is Burgess'' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived.Together these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century''s most talented, imaginative and prescient writers. Several decades later, Burgess'' most singular work still stands.
