About book Complete Enderby: Inside Mr. Enderby, Enderby Outside, The Clockwork Testament, And Enderby's... (1996)

Inside Mr. Enderby 4 stars - I thought this was a wonder when I read it in 1997. Burgess is for word lovers. One of the things that makes him funny is his insertion of the perfect overwrought word at the right moment. His gift very much reminds me of Martin Amis's work, though they are strikingly dissimilar in other ways.Enderby Outside 3 stars - Reading this in 2013, I was disappointed. I lost interest in the narrative toward the middle. And the last scene where Enderby meets his muse I did not like at all. Though technically, there was no falling off of technique. In other words, it doesn't get sloppy, I simply lost interest in it. The reason for this was the discourse on poetry, which hasn't aged well.I have yet to read the last two novels here: Clockwork Testament and Enderby's Dark Lady.
