'The Lancashire coast was best, and there was no place like Blackpool.' – Anthony Burgess
Showtown and Heritage Blackpool invite you to join us for "Anthony Burgess's Blackpool", a talk by Will Carr, Deputy Director of the Anthony Burgess Foundation.
Anthony Burgess was one of the greatest English writers of the twentieth century. He is best known for his dystopian novel 'A Clockwork Orange', but he wrote more than sixty other books, as well as hundreds of musical works and thousands of essays, articles and reviews.
The talk will explore the ways in which popular culture in Blackpool appears in Burgess's writing: music on the North Pier, Tussaud's Waxworks and the sideshows of the Golden Mile all provided material for Burgess's novels, and his warm and affectionate portrait of Blackpool in the 1930s is by turns bawdy, raucous, tender and bittersweet.
The talk is a FREE online event, taking place on Thursday 2 December, 2021 at 7pm.
