Kicked out of college and harassed by his lawyer, Miles Faber abandons New York and embarks on a defiant pilgrimage across the Caribbean to find the shrine of Sib Legeru, an obscure poet and painter. But in the streets of Castita's capital, where a wild religious festival is in full swing, a series of bizarre encounters - including his own repulsive doppelgänger (the son of a circus bird-woman) - and disturbing family revelations await Miles, who soon finds himself a willing victim of dynastic destiny.
A darkly surreal comedy of dazzling linguistic inventiveness, MF is an outrageous tale of blood, lust and the machinations of fate.
Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917. His other works include A Clockwork Orange (also available as a Penguin Modern Classic), Inside Mr Enderby, Enderby Outside, Tremor of Intent, Nothing Like the Sun and Man of Nazareth. He died in 1993.
