Anthony Burgess (1917-1993) reads chapters 1, 2 and 4 of his classic and controversial novel "A Clockwork Orange", originally released by Caedmon in 1973. The audio comes from a 1996 cassette reissue. Very interesting to hear it read by the author himself, although just the opening chapters of it...I wish he'd recorded the entire thing. Still, an interesting artifact for fans of both the book and the film.
Chapter One: 0:00
Chapter Two: 19:25
Chapter Four: 38:53

Burgess always had northern (UK) accents in mind for the droogs. Great to hear it read as the author wished.

I didn't think it was possible for this to be made more "British" than it already was!

Burgess reading this himself is a treat... and terrifying. You really get the sense of a much older Alex looking back on his youth with way too much pleasure. It's like the old fart at the bar starts talking and you find out he used to be in the Klan.

Yeah, I get that feeling whenever I listen to this. There's also more, where he reads Chapters 8 & 9: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/na91nLl41d62dWQ.html Makes you wish he had narrated the entire thing!

Alot of the words are made up. Burgess was like the shakesphere or how ever that trendy fuck is spelled. He literally invented his own slang language to represent what he imagined low life thugs would talk and act like as society deteriorated.

I’m really surprised theres barely any audio readings on youtube about clockwork orange. I had to search deep just to find this.
