Anthony Burgess’s compact masterpiece about life, death, and Rome. This new edition offers a new introduction by Graham Foster, a restored text, detailed notes, and appendices of previously unpublished and rare material from the Burgess Archive.
‘This is a strange and hybrid tale, and the story of its publishing history, admirably expounded by its editor Graham Foster, is well worth telling.’
Margaret Drabble, TLS February 2019
Graham Foster is the Research and Public Engagement Fellow at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester
