And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Leviticus 14:11 KJV
- Anthony Burgess, “A Clockwork Orange”
Anthony Burgess reads from his cult classic, “A Clockwork Orange.” This novel consists of a series of episodes in the life of Alex, a young tough who lives in a nightmare future of violence and sadism. Burgess created a special language he calls “Nadsat,” a kind of anglo-russian fusion. Words like “stary,” Russian for “old” and “horrorshow,” from the Russian “khoroscho,” meaning “good” pepper the descriptions Alex gives of his antisocial activities.
