‘What we were after was
lashings of ultraviolence.’
In this nightmare vision
of youth in revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a
diabolical orgy of robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his
teenage delinquency and the State tries to reform him – but at what cost?
Social prophecy? Black
comedy? A study of free will? A
Clockwork Orange is all of these. It is also a dazzling experiment in
language, as Burgess creates ‘nadsat’, the teenage slang of a not-too-distant
future.
