Criticism
Anthony Burgess wrote a review of Joseph Kell's book for the Yorkshire Post. "hen the editor sent him the author's novel - Burgess thought it was a practical joke but it wasn't." When the paper found out that Kell was one of Burgess's pen names, Burgess was removed from his reviewing duties.
Anatole Broyard of The New York Times wrote:
"Mr. Burgess is so fond of Enderby - by far his best creation - that he has devoted four books to him: Inside Mr. Enderby and Enderby Outside, which were published in 1968, The Clockwork Testament in 1975, and now, Enderby's Dark Lady."
Harold Bloom has nominated the novel as one of his candidates for "the most undervalued English novel of our era".

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
