A review by defluo
Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess

4.0

I share the sentiment that this is an underrated book. It's the entire twentieth century wrapped in a massive volume. It's a long read, and it can be a bit tedious at times. I resisted the impulse to skip lines a few times, and overall, I'm glad I did. While I'm not familiar with most of Burgess's work, I can easily see this being the highlight in his writings. Great book, worth a read, just don't try to read it on a bus. It is not light reading.
