📖✨ In this episode of Book Watch, Jonathan Moody joins Saraqh-Daye to cover the first of our Spooky October Series: A Clockwork Orange — Anthony Burgess’ controversial 1962 novel and Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 1971 film adaptation. How do the book and movie stack up against each other, and what makes this story so enduringly unsettling?
💡 We explore:
✅ The book’s infamous language (Nadsat) and how it translated to the screen
✅ Kubrick’s bold stylistic choices and their cultural impact
✅ Key differences in the endings—and what they mean for Alex’s character
✅ Why Sarah-Daye didn’t quite make it to the end of the book (and what that says about the story’s lasting effect)
🎬 Whether you’re fascinated by dystopian classics or just curious about why this adaptation sparks such debate, this episode takes you deep into the ultraviolent world of A Clockwork Orange.
