Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Over the years, critics have made similar observations to Anthony Burgess' Russian-based coinages used in "A Clockwork Orange;" however, no one has speculated about the origin of "Bog," Burgess' word for God. Craik expounds on his suggestion that "Bog" might have been derived from Stevie Smith's poem "Our Bog is Dood."
