The Worm and the Ring
The Worm and the Ring by Anthony Burgess My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Worm and the Ring is remarkable not so much for Anthony Burgess taking a crack at his former colleagues at Banbury Grammar School, but rather for the author’s creativity in animating a school serving ���drearily picturesque towns���. Burgess had already ... The Worm and the Ring

Life meets Art at a boy’s school OK, so there are lots of novels that incorporate the author’s life into the imagined story. I think this one is closer to life than most, just as his “In Pharoah’s Army’ was. It tells of a boy at a posh private school " Read more of this review » |

"It’s an immaculate capture of Hong Kong society and its materialism, partially in sacrifice of pursuit of high arts and literature. But I personally feel the story is too manipulative, maybe bound by narrator’s class (and irresponsibility), I cannot "

“He was twelve hundred down. This was
against the odds, true bad luck, and then it occurred to him the fights could be rigged. He hadn’t been paying attention to the politicians. Were they winning? Could they be ring-ins: invertebrates betting on invertebrates? He wanted to bust their faces, but willed himself to walk out the door. The invertebrates, sooner or later, always won.”

“This curve in the river, a stone’s throw from one of the biggest tourist draws in the city, was worth cleaning, but the catamarans didn’t go further upstream to where faecal matter from the barrios and heavy metals from industry were plentiful. The funds to clean up that crap had been embezzled, or so they said. If the river was ever cleaned, journalists would miss using it as a symbol for corruption in the city.”

“Don’t burn your throat with the hot mince, mate,” I said.
“Looks like a bloody pelican.” Dawn had stopped her buttering to stare at Ross eating. Johnno, too, was transfixed and held his mug suspended halfway to his mouth. “Bloody hell, finished it in five seconds.”
The pie-eating show was over before it began and Dawn returned to bending Johnno’s ear.”

“He feared his maturity as it grew upon him with its ripe thought, its skill, its finished art; yet which lacked the poetry of boyhood to make living a full end of life. ”
