Abba Abba: by Anthony Burgess
«
'Thanks to the informative Introduction and the six Appendices, we now have a fairly complete picture of the evolution of ABBA ABBA and of Burgess’ approach to his self-imposed task as a translator. For students of literary translation, however, the most fascinating part of the editorial apparatus will be the detailed notes on the poems themselves.’

ABBA ABBA is one of Anthony Burgess's most original works, combining fiction, poetry and translation. A product of his time in Italy in the early 1970s, this delightfully unconventional book is part historical novel, part poetry collection, as well as a meditation on translation and the generating of literature by one of Britain's most inventive post-war authors.

This new edition includes extra material by Burgess, along with an introduction and notes by Paul Howard, Fellow in Italian Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge.
