The book is the first full-length text on Anthony Burgess's fiction
in a generation, and offers a radical and innovative way of
understanding the extensive literary achievements of one of the
twentieth century's most innovative authors. This book explores
Burgess's dazzlingly diverse range of novels through the one key
theme which links them all - the artistic process itself. Borrowing
from Nietzsche's aesthetic dichotomy of Apollo and Dionysus, the
book uncovers the protracted evolution of Burgess's fiction and
offers a unifying theory which links his early postcolonial fiction
chronologically, via his modernist experiments like A Clockwork
Orange and Nothing Like The Sun, to his late classics Mozart and
the Wolfgang and A Dead Man in Deptford. This volume clarifies
Burgess's seminal role as both late modernist and early
postmodernist, and lucidly unveils the legacy of England's most
mercurial novelist.
