Anthony Burgess is an English writer (also composer) mainly known from Kubrick's movie adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, but with more monumental and notable productions, in particular the eye-opening 1985 which rivals with 1984 itself and Ora25 in importance and clarity, or his Earthly Powers that I regard as an epic work of Hugoesque proportion.
It is, in fact, unclear why this Author is so little regarded and not hailed as one of the major contemporary writers. He is, as one of the least significant features, one of the few modern authors to remain inspired by catholicism. He wrote a biblical trilogy that also made it to the screen.
