Anthony Burgess
John Anthony Burgess Wilson, who has published under the name Anthony Burgess, is an English writer and composer. Although Burgess is primarily a comic book writer, his outdated satire A Clockwork Orange remains his most popular novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a controversial Stanley Kubrick film, for which Burgess believes it is mainly responsible for the book's popularity. Burgess has produced many other novels, including The Enderby Quartet and The Power of the Earth. He has written volumes and screenplays, including the 1977 television novel Jesus of Nazareth. He has worked as a literary critic for a number of publications, including The Observer and The Guardian, and has written studies on classical writers, particularly James Joyce. A versatile linguist, Burgess has taught phonetics and translated Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex and the opera Carmen, among others.
