An artist is planning to re-type all of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess at Manchester Central Library next week.

 

Tim Youd, an LA-based performance artist, is in the process of re-typing 100 novels as part of his ongoing art project - and the famous dystopian novella by the Manchester writer is next on his list.

 

From the library’s reading room and public archive Tim will re-type the work using a typewriter believed to be the same make and model as Burgess used to produce his original manuscript in the 1960s.
