Born on February 25, 1917, Anthony Burgess transformed fiction into a laboratory for language. Through Nadsat and rhythmic prose experimentation, he showed that English could be stretched, hybridized, and morally reframed. His work proved that invented dialects, musical syntax, and linguistic play can reshape narrative perception and expand the expressive limits of modern literature.
