Right now he has three new novels in the works: an espionage thriller in a "super-James Bond vein," a biographical fiction based on his pianist father's musical career, and a novel devoted to Pope John XXIII, about whom Burgess, a strict English Catholic, is highly critical. Soon to be published is the third and concluding volume of the Enderby novels, the story of a poet who loses and then regains his creative gift, generally regarded...
