Anthony Burgess was an author and a composer who was born on February 24, 1917, and died on November 22, 1993. Anthony Burgess has written many, many books on many subjects but his most famous work is A Clockwork Orange. This fame has been attributed to the fact that the story was dramatised in film by Stanley Kubrick in 1971. This brought Burgess attention, but some of that attention was unwarranted and unwanted. He said "the film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me till I die." Anthony Burgess was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 1959 and wrote 5 novels in 12 months in order to provide for his wife who he believed was going to become a widow. The tables turned when it happened that his diagnosis was wrong. Llewela, his wife, died in 1968, while Burgess himself, went on to live until 1993.

Book Review:

Anthony Burgess A Dead Man in Deptford Burgess portrays Elizabethan London so that you feel you are there yourself. Not that you would want to be, the street executions, the acrid smells, and the general lack of respect for humanity is repellant. But Burgess tells it like it was.
