(Byrne tells the astonishing story of an Irish artist who in the early years of the century goes to the bad, bedding and abandoning women everywhere, debasing his talents as a composer and painter, and finally ending up within Hitler's Third Reich. Then he vanishes. After his disappearance, the story passes to his children who move across the troubled face of contemporary Europe until, in a final apocalyptic confrontation, they encounter their infamous father.
Enormously funny and full of passion, Byrne is Anthony Burgess's last, poetic take on life and art)

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

When Anthony Burgess died in 1993 he left the complete "Byrne," a novel in epic verse. This is the first American publication. Byrne tells the astonishing story of an Irish artist who, in the early years of this century, goes rapidly to the bad, bedding and abandoning women everywhere, debasing his talents as a composer and painter, and finally ending up within Hitler's Third Reich, at which point he vanishes. After his disappearance, the story passes to his twin sons, one a doubting priest, the other suffering from a debilitating disease, who move across the troubled face of contemporary Europe before encountering their father in one final apocalyptic confrontation.
