The book is a personal, and somewhat idiosyncratic, selection of Burgesss favourite novels, and not only stimulates debate but acts as a crash-course in the literature that inspired and influenced Burgess throughout his career. The Ninety-Nine Novels Podcast invites experts to illuminate Burgesss choices, and includes episodes on famous masterworks to unjustly forgotten gems.-----For more information about Anthony Burgess visit the International Anthony Burgess Foundation online.
