Banned Book Club January Meeting
🗓️Reminder:
We will be discussing A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.
This group is always a place for a great discussion! 📚
A Clockwork Orange, novel by Anthony Burgess, published in 1962. Set in a dismal dystopian England, it is the first-person account of a juvenile delinquent who undergoes state-sponsored psychological rehabilitation for his aberrant behaviour. The novel satirizes extreme political systems that are based on opposing models of the perfectibility or incorrigibility of humanity. Written in a futuristic slangvocabulary invented by Burgess, in part by adaptation of Russian words, it was his most original and best-known work.
