    Item: Burgess is actually a bloody good writer. Item: Hemingway was an arsehole. Put the two together and you have a challenging read … if you are at all politically correct. Watch out for Burgess’ masterly command of the artform of sarcasm. It’s illuminating.

      I love Burgess as a writer ( and one of the few I quote on the regular ) and yes, Hemingway was an arsehole. That’s why I bought it. 😊
