Ninety-Nine Novels: Pavane by Keith Roberts
Manage episode 343104448 series 3013668
In 1984, Anthony Burgess published Ninety-Nine Novels, a selection of his favourite novels in English since 1939. The list is typically idiosyncratic, and shows the breadth of Burgess's interest in fiction. This podcast, by the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, explores the novels on Burgess's list with the help of writers, critics and other special guests.
In this episode, we’re heading to an alternate universe as writer, academic and curator Glyn Morgan guides the Burgess Foundation's Graham Foster through Pavane by Keith Roberts.
Published in 1968, Pavane is set in a Great Britain ruled by the Catholic Church after the assassination of Elizabeth I. The story picks up in the twentieth century, and follows a disparate group of characters as they navigate a world on the cusp of rebellion. Burgess lauds the depiction of a ‘modern England that is also medieval’ and calls the novel ‘a striking work of the imagination’.
Keith Roberts was born in Kettering in 1935. He wrote thirteen novels, including The Furies, The Chalk Giants and Molly Zero. He was also an illustrator and worked on the artwork for New Worlds and Impulse magazines. He died in 2000 at the age of 65.
Glyn Morgan is a writer, academic and curator based in London. He is the author of Imagining the Unimaginable: Speculative Fiction and the Holocaust (Bloomsbury) and curator of the forthcoming blockbuster immersive exhibition Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination, which opens at the Science Museum in London on 6 October 2022 and runs until 4 May 2023. Glyn has also edited a new volume of essays, interviews and 200 colour illustrations to accompany the exhibition (Thames and Hudson).
