The British newspaper the Guardian republished a piece by Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, Inside Mr Enderby, Kingdom of the Wicked, and Earthly Powers, in conjunction with the new Observer/Anthony Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism.
Anthony Burgess was an interesting man and a great writer in my view. I've read and enjoyed nearly all of his novels.

Note: I confess to being something of a hack book reviewer.
