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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888002642139,"sku":"2026200009255-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/04cc5e01-4cca-4406-9d19-04e2f9fce64f.png?v=1781752216","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009255-secondhand-urgent-copy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
