A satirical novel set in a dystopian future where overpopulation is a major issue. It explores societal issues and has a darkly humorous tone.

• Inside Mr Enderby (1963):

The first novel in the Enderby series, it follows the life of poet Francis Xavier Enderby and his comedic misadventures.

• The Enderby Quartet (comprising Inside Mr Enderby, Enderby Outside, The Clockwork Testament, and Enderby's Dark Lady):

This series follows the life of the poet Enderby, offering a satirical and humorous look at literature and the creative process.

A semi-autobiographical trilogy set in colonial Malaya, drawing on Burgess's own experiences.
