- James called the park on 13 June 2026. The staff member said the day-use area has the best connection. The trailer loop (probably means the RV Loop) does not get great service (these spots begin with T). The north loop is spotty. Get closer to the day use area for better service. The person did not mention the south loop, but since this loop is even farther away than the north loop, it likely has poor service as well (must check). Recommend checking the map on the website.
- Anthony Burgess on A Clockwork Orange (anthonyburgess.org)
A Clockwork Orange (1962) is Anthony Burgess’s most famous novel. Its themes of free will and individual responsibility are still urgent today, and its uncompromising violence and dark humour remain powerful. He returned to it in print and on air throughout his life, especially after Stanley Kubrick’s controversial 1971 film adaptation. Here are recordings of Burgess reading the opening sequence of the novel, in the Manchester accent of his youth; part of an unbroadcast, candid interview about its themes and concerns for the Italian media; a well-lubricated after-dinner speech accepting a prize for his work from the Writer’s Guild of America; and the overture and opening number of Burgess’s own 1986 adaptation of his novel as a stage musical, performed in 2017 by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
