Outrageous.
Enderby in New York City - shitcan political correctness, hilarity without end. Anthony Burgess, you've really done it this time. The Clockwork Testament is satire tooled razor sharp and laced with the Enderby poetic, an uproarious literary counterpoint to cartoons by R. Crumb.
I plan to expand this brief review but meanwhile I'd like to encourage readers to either read this zany Burgess blaster or listen to the exceptional audio book narrated by John Sessions.
My favorite three scenes: Enderby teaching his British lit class, Enderby teaching his creative writing class, Enderby on a TV evening talk show. Oh, how I enjoyed this novel that, again, can be read as the literary counterpart to R. Crumb cartoons, as per the below -
Enderby's vision of the typical American watching television
Enderby's vision of the typical young American female
Enderby's vision of the typical American college student
Enderby's vision of a typical older American educator, a kind of bureaucratic version of Mr. Natural, who wants to make education relevant.
