‎A CLOCKWORK ORANGE‎

Publisher's original black snakeskin textured boards blocked in iridescent brown to the upper board and spine in the black card slipcase. Illustrated throughout with a frontispiece and six full page colour plates after paintings by Ben Jones. With an introduction by Irvine Welsh. A fine copy the binding square and firm the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Housed in the structurally sound slipcase which has a few light horizontal strips of fading to both sides. Burgess regularly expressed frustration at the disproportionate attention garnered by 'A Clockwork Orange'. The novel he later recalled "fell into a great silence as many books do" following its publication in 1962 "but then a film was made of it ten years later and . my trouble began". The film of course was Stanley Kubrick's infamous 1971 adaptation starring Malcolm McDowell as Alex Andy Warhol had earlier adapted the book for his film 'Vinyl' in 1965 and the "trouble" was being "accused of fomenting violence rape mayhem as it were because of this film and because of the book it was based on". Burgess was ambivalent about the very aspects of the book that made it famous. "It was certainly no pleasure to me to describe acts of violence" he recalled in 1972 later expressing the more nuanced view that "I was sickened by my own excitement at setting it down". It is the book's language however that makes it so extraordinary "nadsat" the vivid Anglo-American-Slavic language used by its characters generating its remarkable energy and indeed violence. Burgess began writing the book upon his return to Britain from Malaya and Brunei in 1960 he was an education officer for the Colonial Service and it also reflects the author's reaction to a pop and youth culture including violent clashes between Mods and Rockers that he was experiencing for the first time after being away for six years.

‎Autograph letter signed "Ben Lucien Berman"‎

‎New York: Hotel Chelsea 1959. 3 pages. 1 vols. 8vo. To Wesley Hartley a long-time educator and teacher formerly of the American Council on Education. Folded else in fine condition with original envelope. 3 pages. 1 vols. 8vo. ¶Responding to a question about the importance of his high school education and asking whether the college experience was necessary in creative writing. He replies "it seems to me that in high school I learned the use of words as a fundamental tool and in college perhaps how to take that tool and create something with it.I think it certainly is possible for someone who if compelled to go without a college education to write just as well as anyone else if he reads enormously and writes constantly. But formal education whether high school or college it seems to me gives the serious student of writing the knowledge he requires so much more easily than when he is forced to acquire it himself. He receives an introduction to great writing and at least a partial understanding of its techniqus and values in a way which otherwise might take him many years of floundering and struggle." He noted that he was enclosing a biographical sketch with his letter but it is not present. <br/><br/> Hotel Chelsea unknown‎

‎Manuscript: Rooster Crows for Day‎

‎1945. Manuscript. Approximately 565 loose sheets comprised of roughly an equal number of typed and holograph pages. All slightly toned with edge wear very good. Burman's manuscript for his 1945 novel about a Mississippi steamboat captain's journey on the Congo with a multitude of corrections and revisions throughout. Accompanying the manuscript is an Autograph Note Signed from Burman to his book editor delivering the finished work. Burman born in Covington Kentucky in 1896 published numerous novels set in the South with many centered on life along the Mississippi. His earlier novel Steamboat Round the Bend was the basis for the 1935 film of the same name starring Will Rogers. A world traveler and veteran of both World War I and World War II Burman was among the first correspondents to reach the Free French capital of Brazzaville in independent French Equatorial Africa during WWII an experience that greatly informed this story.
