Found this about 20 years ago in a used bookstore in Pittsburgh. I didn't know much about Anthony Burgess beyond A Clockwork Orange, but something compelled me to buy it. I'm glad I did. Enderby is a recurring character in Burgess's novels, a poet on the far side of middle age who in this story is contracted by a theater company in a tiny Indiana town to write the libretto for a Shakespeare musical. Burgess is an extremely witty, clever writer.
