Arnie Schoenberg didn't want to do it, says Burgess. Arnie told Georgie (Gershwin), 'Yours in the music I'd like to write. I'd like to write a Felix Mendelssohn violin concerto. But I've been driven by the Zeitgeist, by social circumstances, by the development of art, to go in this direction and produce this kind of music.' Joyce said the same thing about his work. th-cam.com/video/1z6Anh3lm7k/w-d-xo.html
Loved watching this, thanks for sharing.
Good interview: clear, polite & informative. Few writers are so candid.
Yep, his answers are superb.
Wonderful viewing. Thank you.
Thanks for visiting In Search of Anthony Burgess, Mr M.
I haven't watched it yet....but looks like a ...... face to face interview from the revamped bbc series in the 80s/90s....good find
Think you're right. BBC's Face to Face. This is the best since the one featuring Waugh. I thought Jeremy Isaacs did a decent job.
@ 0.15. " I say that with total sincerity " . Yes , few writers could feign " total
sincerity " as well as A B .
Fascinating interview but did anyone else think he was Trump from the thumbnail?
There is a definite resemblance.
In terms of Self Esteem they appear remarkably similar ?
OK OK No one knows more than you, Tony!
😅You're a polymath, Tony! Everyone says so!
Free indisciminate sexual congress? In Wales apparently.
If he had no sibling who survived childhood then how can anyone have married his niece?
All things are possible inside the skull of Anthony Burgess.
Think it’s real though - the daughter of his first wife Lynne’s sister, I believe it is.
