Inside Mr Enderby is the first volume of the Enderby series, a quartet of comic novels by the British bestselling author of A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess.
Enderby, a lapsed Catholic in his mid-40s, lives alone in Brighton as a 'professional' poet – his income being interest from investments left to him by his stepmother. Enderby composes his poetry whilst seated on the toilet. His bathtub, which serves as a filing cabinet, is almost full of the mingled paper and food scraps that represent his efforts. Although he is recognised as a minor poet with several published works (and is even awarded a small prize, the 'Goodby Gold Medal', which he refuses), he has yet to be anthologised.
– Mr Enderby is finally pursuade to leave his lonely but poetically fruitful bachelor life by the editor of a woman's magazine, Vesta Bainbridge, after he accidentally sends her a love poem instead of a complaint about a recipe in her magazine. The marriage, which soon ends, costs Enderby dearly, alienating him from his muse and depriving him of his financial independence.
‘Mr. Burgess is so fond of Enderby – by far his best creation – that he has devoted four books to him.’
