“There is only one kind of immorality in fiction, and that is when you write badly.”

English writer, screenwriter, and composer

Anthony Burgess was an English writer, screenwriter, and composer. He is known for work that crosses fiction and music, and for a career that joined literary invention with a strong interest in language and form. Burgess wrote novels, screenplays, and musical works, moving between different kinds of writing without losing a recognisable voice. His name is most often associated with fiction, but his range also included composition, which shaped the breadth of his public reputation.
