Long shot: I'm trying to find out when A Clockwork Orange (the novel, not the movie) was banned in South Africa, and for how long. Is there anyone here who either knows, or can tell me where I might find this information?

i just really wanted to show this dumb little video i made, it was probably way funnier in my head

I feel like Alex's mom is a character more Clockwork Orange fans should dress up as because (to me at least) she's the most stylish character in the movie with so many cute outfits and pretty wigs. My favorite one of her's is her red dress with red boots and green wig. And I did have to get a little creative with her last outfit that we see in the movie since we're never shown the bottom half of it

Aunque haya sido algo más cara vale cada centavo

Throughout this whole month, I've dressed up as many different characters from my favorite things and one of them is Alex. I also included Basil in some pictures as well and had to use a wine glass for my milk shot since it's the only drinking glass I own😂

Dressing up as Kubrick’s Alex DeLarge for Halloween for the first time this year. Thinking of having a baby picture sticking out of a wallet in my chest pocket to represent the missing last chapter of the book.

Obviously, most won't get it right away, and some may assume it's twisted. But a simple Google search or inquiry reveals a version that may be nice to know about.

Thoughts? Have you done any cross over of elements from both?

It was real horrorshow at the comic con this year but only the starry vecks recognize me :( a lot of people just looked at my plott n I was really shy so I hid in the bathroom a lot, had more pics w other cosplayers but these two were my favs! Especially the tattoo one

(Btw, can anyone give me any tips on the genital protector? Ik it looks ugly, I did it myself)

i’m doing some research on a clockwork orange and would love to hear from native english speakers, since english isn’t my first language (i’m a native russian speaker) and i don’t think i can give an objective answer to one of the questions my research explores:

while reading the book, did nadsat slang ever make it difficult for you to visualize the scenes being described, particularly the violent ones? did you find yourself consciously focusing on figuring out what certain words meant from context, to the point where you sometimes lost track of the mental images the text would otherwise evoke?

i’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences as readers. thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond

Burgess literally predicted the future with clockwork orange, it’s a book (or film) based in a ‘not so distant’ future, here’s what I see that correlated to our present.
1. The biggest thing now, parents don’t discipline their kids and let them get up to whatever bullshit they want. Many parents now refuse to teach their kids what they do is bad, just like Alex’s parents, thus surging youth violence and I live in the UK and the youth here are disrespectful, ungrateful and very selfish the exact same as the youth in the book.
2. Innocent things being defiled, milk used as a vessel for drugs in the book mirrors today, where people use fruity flavours in vapes with THC in them, also in modern day newer and newer drugs coming out and wrecking the youth. There’s also the sexualisation of many ordinary or innocent things nowadays like nuns, school uniforms etc.
3. Underfunded police and prisons, I don’t know if it’s like this everywhere, but in the uk the prisons and overflowing, the police are understaffed (sort of underfunded) and a vast amount of criminals get away.
4. Increase in rape in non-traditional ways. WARNING this one is kind of a stretch and I feel like it’s increased but you might think otherwise. Alex is shown to constantly rape people just ‘for the sake of raping them’ and causing them to suffer, he doesn’t really enjoy the sex itself as the violence is what’s turning him on. And when Billyboy and Dim rape Alex when he gets out of prison too relating to increase of male on male rape. This correlates with large increase in rape fetish and domination.

I could think of so many more but these are the main ones I see from my day to day.

i have the same problem

Hello, I just finished Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange and the book I have has some extra stuff, including an epilogue that was published in 1987 titles A Malenky Govoreet about the Molodoy. I’ve never seen Kubrick’s film because I wanted to read the novel first. This epilogue came out a while after the movie, and I believe it mentions some stuff about the movie (like Alex’s last name I think) so should I watch the film first before reading this epilogue or just read it? I guess what I’m getting is is this epilogue apart of the actual novel or not?

there’s some address or something on it so that’s why I scribbled something off with red.

I've not been able to dig up any information about the production... I wonder where this was performed, and if the gender swap was well received?

And yes I’ve already watched every Stanley Kubrick film 😰👌
