Anthony Burgess' 'Is America Falling Apart' ?
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Is America falling apart? It is an interesting question which does not have a singular answer. Even Anthony Burgess is torn as to whether America is truly falling apart or merely moving through a transitional period on its way to better times. His constant allusions to miscreant characters and unsavory activities lead one to believe that Burgess considers humanity a sea of lost souls who have fallen victim to the seedier side of human culture. The writer discusses whether Burgess believes America is, indeed, falling apart, as well as addresses the various reasons he may believe this to be true. **This is an Anthony Burgess article being reviewed-- not a novel. No additional sources cited.
