Beyond Nadsat
Anthony Burgess is best-known for his 1962 novella, A Clockwork Orange, which is famously written in Nadsat, the invented language of the protagonist Alex and his gang of droogs.

Just as Burgess’s other fictions are less well-known, however, so too are his other forays into invented literary languages. Burgess sp…

Yet Ballard wrote in an era before global warming had been identified by climate scientists, and his fiction is as much psychological and ontological as it is physiological. Ballard both adheres to and deviat…
