Inside Anthony Burgess is a podcast that explores the writing of the author of A Clockwork Orange. Taking in both his fiction and non-fiction, we feature one of his books in each episode, discussing Burgess’s inspirations, his thematic interests, his literary techniques and more.

In this episode, Andrew Biswell and Graham Foster return for the second episode dealing with Burgess’s ‘confessions’. This time we discuss You’ve Had Your Time, the second volume of autobiography, which follows Burgess’s career as a writer, his status as an international figure, his adventures in Hollywood and on Broadway and more.
