CLOCKWORK ORANGE 50

CLOCKWORK ORANGE turns 50 today.

Anthony Burgess had written the book fast. He thought that he was going to die from a brain tumor. The author later described the novel thusly; “a jeu d’esprit knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence.”

It did indeed.
