This month’s vote resulted in a little-seen three-way tie so the hosts elected to select one of the books in the tie. And so we have Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange
Here’s the summary:
In Anthony Burgess’s influential nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, a teen who talks in a fantastically inventive slang that evocatively renders his and his friends’ intense reaction against their society. Dazzling and transgressive, A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil and the meaning of human freedom
This is the longest book we’ve ever covered on Book Club, so we suggest you get reading right away!
The live-streamed discussion of A Clockwork Orange will occur Friday, September 8th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. We’ll see you there!
