Abstract

The following interview was taped in Anthony Burgess's office in the English Department at The University of Iowa, October 27,1975. A week prior to the interview, Burt Lancaster and Gian Carlo de Boscio, an Italian movie director, came to Iowa City to discuss a new film script with Mr. Burgess. Lancaster was interested in the life of Daniel Paul Schreber (Memoirs of a Mental Patient), and was trying to interest Burgess in doing a f?m script on Schreber's life. Mr. Burgess was already working on a script for a disaster film. He was also projecting a book on New York, and thinking of George III as a subject for an opera. His symphony had been performed here at Iowa by the University Orchestra, and so music was very much on his mind.
