-===Author's dismissal===
-In 1985, Burgess published the book ''Flame into Being: The Life and Work of D. H. Lawrence'' (Heinemann, London), and while discussing ''[[Lady Chatterley's Lover]]'' in the concluding chapter, he compared that novel's notoriety with ''A Clockwork Orange'': "We all suffer from the popular desire to make the known notorious. The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to [[repudiate]]: written a quarter of a century ago, a ''[[jeu d'esprit]]'' knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence. The film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me till I die. I should not have written the book because of this danger of misinterpretation, and the same may be said of Lawrence and ''Lady Chatterley's Lover''."
