If this man speaks, then I'm listening. His play on words, indeed the range of his vocabulary is seuuu-perb

In 1975, I and a few others had lunch with the Great Man in Institute, West Virginia, of all locations. In the aftermath of the success of Kubrick's movie, Burgess went on and on about A Clockwork Orange, at the expense of any serious treatment of his other novels. I was hoping to hear him expound and expatiate on Joyce, but it was not to be. Still, Burgess is a giant among modern authors.

He grew to detest the book and the fact it was all anyone wanted to talk to him about.

Words is simply not just words. In fact words do tell us a story

I really admire Burgess, but I think that he should have edited his work better, and slowed down and left more time between his books. Many of the early ones are unreadable or just fly off in too many directions.

@@vicalamuso3427 I found a whole pile of his early paperbacks on sale. Not the most readable work. You feel they were rushed, including the reviews (ie. "M/F", "Urgent Copy", etc.)

Burgess specifically railed against being parsimonious with words himself and said he was breaking the laws of English literature writing too much, but would persist.

Don’t agree: the Malayan Trilogy / The Long Day Wanes is central to his ouvre. It’s more grounded and far less rushed through than the work he composed after he became a tax exile. One prefers quality over quantity. Doesn’t apply to the journalism at all, however, which is still top-notch, especially Homage to QWERTYUIOP.

I'd say fiction derived from one's personal experiences is not as difficult to write as is an act of pure imagination.
