'Call, call, Vienna mine (or yours)' 'The Austro-Hungarian empire was, some of us believe, far superior to the Roman or the British. By its fruits shall ye know it - Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, all the Strausses; Hofmannsthal and Rilke and Schnitzler; Freud and Adler'

@OGWBeard Burgess loved Rabelais -- he owned the 2-volume Everyman edition -- and he borrowed the technique of list-making for the key scenes in Tremor of Intent.

'Faith in the bottle' by Anthony Burgess A review of 'Rabelais' by MA Screech 'What Professor Screech tries to do in his book is to explain the deeper significance of what the non-specialist reader like myself has always taken to be pure high-spirited scatology.'

Happy New Year, happy new book project (I haven't had a daily dose read for a while). Today I start 'Homage to QWERT YUIOP' by Anthony Burgess, a selection of his journalism, with the intent to read one a day through the year.

@ILoveMCR Very good, but you are celebrating too soon. The first edition of A Clockwork Orange was published by William Heinemann on 14 May 1962.

@marcogiann It's very likely that the letter written by Thompson was never sent. The published version was found in the Thompson archive. There is no copy in the Burgess archive, and he kept EVERYTHING, especially hate mail.

@PulpLibrarian A real love letter, bursting with empathy, nostalgia and, let's be honest, a kind of geographic envy. Why does no one ever tell us The Rest of The Story, or whether B responded ?

@PulpLibrarian With God as my witness, I cannot tell if Thompson was ribbing a friend, or absolutely serious. In either case, this is legendary.
