Burgess as Futurist Satirist and Language Craftman
A profile of Anthony Burgess, living in New York and Italy, who labels himself a craftsman and writer of satire. It traces his early twentieth century inspired futurism, his novels such as A Clock for Present Times, and The Wanting Seed, his linguistic inventiveness, and his critical stance toward liberalism, technology, and politics. The piece notes his stage ambitions for Ulysses, his favorite authors, and offers judgment on his style, themes, and social critique.
