Anthony Burgess published five short story collections between 1980 and 1998, with some appearing posthumously. Two Tales of the Future (1980) and Future Imperfect (1994) contain his science fiction short stories, extending the speculative interests visible in A Clockwork Orange and The Wanting Seed.
The Devil’s Mode (1989) collects literary stories, while But Do Blondes Prefer Gentlemen? (1986) and One Man’s Chorus (1998) gather his journalism and essay writing. These collections fill out the picture of a writer who was productive in every form, from the novel to the brief occasional piece.
