I am beginning to notice reoccurring references to Joyce, Byron, Spencer, Shelley, Saul Bellow in Burgess' works. Burgess' play on words, for example Joe Green (Giuseppe Verdi) is evident in this novel. A quick read, fun and cleverly woven. (But is a widow's peak really uncommon?). The ending particularly effective with the character who is prone to seeing the dead walking and talking, takes his friend off for a day at the bar after he fails (possibly) to induce his own fatal heart attack.

Anthony Burgess draws upon an autobiographical episode to create Beard's Roman Women, the story of a man haunted by his first wife, presumed dead. But is she? A marvellously economical book, full-flavoured, funny, and heartfelt, showing its author at the height of his powers. This new edition is the first to be published with David Robinson's photographs for over forty years. The text of the novel has been restored using the original typescripts, and Graham Foster's new introduction provides valuable insight into the fictional and biographical contexts of the novel. The text is fully annotated with a detailed set of notes and this edition includes the previously unpublished script for Burgess's television film By the Waters of Leman: Byron and Shelley at Geneva, and a rare piece of Burgess's writing about Rome.
