- Using biographical research into the relationship between Anthony Burgess and William Burroughs provides new ways of reading their works. Investigating their relationship through their correspondence, I tease out the misunderstandings that lie within their mutual admiration. Analyzing Burgess's Catholicism and Burroughs's libertarianism in relation to the satirical intentions behind A Clockwork Orange (1962) and Naked Lunch (1959) opens avenues for new readings of the texts, read from the other writers' perspective, and helps us better understand the two writers' eventual disagreement.
