Urgent Copy is a compelling collection of literary criticism and essays by Anthony Burgess, the celebrated author of A Clockwork Orange. With characteristic wit and erudition, Burgess presents penetrating analyses of his contemporaries and literary forebears, arguing passionately for the primacy of language in fiction. The collection covers a wide range of writers — from James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway to Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh — offering sharp, authoritative judgements that illuminate both the subjects and the critic himself. Written in Burgess's unmistakably vivid and opinionated prose, Urgent Copy stands as an indispensable document of mid-twentieth-century literary culture, chronicling the tastes, tensions, and triumphs of an extraordinary era in English letters.
