"Novelist Anthony Burgess combines in one talent some of the finest strains of English literature. There is in his work the kind of buoyant bawdiness and wit that have invigorated the English novel since 18th-century Laurence Stern. A sense of satire that can be as savage as Jonathan Swift's and as deft and Evelyn Waugh's; and the love of language, for its playfulness and enchantment, that reached its apotheosis in James Joyce. And, of course, Mr. Burgess was a 'black humorist' long before the term became a suspect slogan."Burgess, Anthony is the author of 'Nothing Like the Sun A Story of Shakespeare's Love-Life', published 1996 under ISBN 9780393315073 and ISBN 039331507X.
