Honey for the Bears (Norton Paperback Fiction)

"This is satiric comedy complicated with slapstick that is hard, fast, and funny; the conversations in the book are persistently inconclusive, incomprehensible, or off the point, the actions of the characters are incompetent and irrelevant....[I]n short, all the machinery of exasperation and comic misunderstanding clanks and bangs magnificently throughout the book. But in addition--and this is not everyday--Mr. Burgess has worked up a reallly high comic style. It is learned, it is vulgar, it is swiftly pictorial, it is dexterously psychological--above all it is mobile and figurative."Anthony Burgess is the author of 'Honey for the Bears (Norton Paperback Fiction)', published 1996 under ISBN 9780393314410 and ISBN 0393314413.
