The reader may take this new Burgess novel on any level he likes--as a Secret Service entertainment gone mad; as a serious study of the reasons why men defect from the West to Russia; as an examination of the morality of espionage; as a Chinese box full of surprises-or quite simply as one of the most challenging serious novels in recent years."
