Description

Anthony Burgess and America is a biographical and critical analysis of Burgess’s commentary on and relationship with the United States of America. Utilising Burgess’s entire canon and newly discovered materials to assess Burgess’s views on America, this book also evaluates the American inspirations in five Burgess novels. This essential addition to Burgess scholarship tells the story of a nearly unexplored area of Burgess’s life. For the first time ever, Burgess’s American experiences, work, and documented communication, lectures, interviews and public utterances are brought together to assess where these commentaries overlapped with his fiction. The result is a complex personal and public history about one of Britain’s greatest twentieth century authors and their immersion into and interaction with American culture in the second half of the twentieth century.
