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unpublished writings, letters and diaries, The Real Life of Anthony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.
