'The situation as far as I'm concerned', says the young narrator-hero of M/F, 'is a fascinating one. In two days in a peculiar country I've obtained a mother in the form of a Welsh-speaking Bird Queen who scares me. I've spent some hours in jail, I've found out the works associated with an unknown superlative artist in a garden shed and I am shot at by way of a riddling lion-faced expert on Bishop Berkeley. Most interesting of most I'm scheduled tonight to be wedded by way of a circus clown to my very own sister.' Almost 21, a college or university throw-out, Miles Faber embarks on a defiant pilgrimage across the Caribbean. His vacation spot: the shrine of Sib Legeru, Castitian poet and painter. In the roadways of Castita's capital, gay with a spiritual festival, some bizarre revelations awaits him - his own increase (the foul-mouthed kid of a circus sorceress) and a plump sister he had never achieved before. Unspeakable crimes of bloodstream and lust are perpetrated against both before Miles, solving the ultimate riddle, wakes - like Oedipus - to find himself a ready victim of the machinations of dynastic destiny. MF can be an outrageous entertainment, full of humour and technology. Anthony Burgess (25th February 1917 - 22nd November 1993) was one of the UK's leading academics & most respected literary characters. A prolific writer, during his writing job Burgess found success as a novelist, critic, composer, playwright, screenwriter, travel article writer, essayist, poet and librettist, as well as working as a translator, broadcaster, linguist, and educationalist. His fiction includes Nothing Like the Sun, a entertainment of Shakespeare's love-life, but he's perhaps most famous for the complex and controversial book A Clockwork Orange, checking out the nature of evil. Delivered in Manchester, he spent time moving into Southeast Asia, the USA, and Mediterranean Europe, as well as in Britain, until his fatality in 1993.
