Additional quotes by Anthony Burgess

…a fetid cabaret with a beer-bar, two houses of ill-fame disguised as coffee-shops…

Chickaks or geckos chirp on the walls....

It was very cally and vonny, with one bulb in the ceiling with fly-dirt like obscuring its bit of light, and there were early rabbiters slurping away at chai and horrible-looking sausages and slices of kleb which they like wolfed, going wolf wolf wolf and then creeching for more.
