The Guardian:

At least 20 unpublished stories by Anthony Burgess, the author of A Clockwork Orange, have been discovered by researchers sorting through his papers at a research centre in Manchester, the city in which he was born.

The short stories, unproduced film and theatre scripts and hundreds of musical compositions have emerged from the contents of three houses in London, Monaco and Italy, bequeathed to the International Anthony Burgess Foundation after the death of his widow, Liana, four years ago. Burgess died in 1993.

Wow, is that what Anthony Burgess really looked like. He wore a hat and an eye lash? Who'da thunk it?

Is it that much trouble to give us a cutline and I.D. who is actually in the photo...or is that too much like journalism 101?

Excellent! I hope they publish them soon, as my partner is a big fan of his. I didn't know he was a musician also.

I know it's the work he's most associated with, but I have a feeling Burgess would be a little depressed by the article being illustrated with a picture from A Clockwork Orange, seeing as he hated the book and especially the movie.
