Rather sad …

… The restless soul of Anthony Burgess | America Magazine. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

About 50 years ago, the British comedian Peter Cook performed a sketch about the doggedly reclusive Greta Garbo in which, adorned by a blonde wig, he stood up in the back of an open-topped car shouting “I vant to be alone!” through a megaphone. Burgess gave the same impression of wanting it both ways when he insisted that he was not the least bit obsessed with the subject of religion.


One wonders what he did at the end.
