“This is the most detailed study of Anthony Burgess’s writing to appear in over twenty years … . a balanced and thoughtful study that tackles its subject in depth and with detachment.” (Simon Baker, TLS The Times Literary Supplement, the-tls.co.uk, December 18, 2018)“The Aesthetics of Anthony Burgess takes the very question of creativity and prolificacy as its core theme. By focusing upon the writer and composer characters who pop up everywhere in Burgess’s novels, Clarke manages a survey of every major text and even gives a sense of shape to the whole, both conceptually and poetically.” (Joseph Darlington, The Cambridge Quarterly, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2018)
