By Anthony Burgess
John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL (25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993) who published under the name Anthony Burgess, was an English writer and composer. Although Burgess was primarily a comic writer, his dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange remains his best-known novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the book.

Anthony Burgess notorious 1962 dystopian novel is a nightmare vision of the future told in its own fantastically inventive language, and has since become a classic of modern literature. The book was banned in numerous U.S. schools for its sexual violence. Adapted for the big screen by Stanley Kubrick, the film was more controversial than the book and Kubrick withdrew the film from U.K. audiences himself; the self-imposed ban not being lifted until his death in 1999. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century and by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels since 1923.
