A manuscript by Anthony Burgess, author of "A Clockwork Orange", has been discovered and it can be considered at least a quasi-sequel to his classic 1962 novel. The 200 page manuscript, titled "A Clockwork Condition", offers Burgess's reflections on society as well as his thoughts about Stanley Kubrick's notorious and highly acclaimed 1971 film version of "A Clockwork Orange" that was removed from exhibition in the UK until after the director's death in 1999. Burgess, who died in 1993, also explains in the manuscript how the bizarre title "A Clockwork Orange" came about. Click here to read BBC report.
