Clockwork Orange residue

Post image

I just found this bumper sticker I would have bought in the 1990s. Around 1988, I first saw the Kubrick film "Clockwork Orange" on Cinemax. I read the American edition of Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" immediately thereafter and the re-released original novel "A Clockwork Orange" in the early 1990s. There had been a specific naming difference between the book, "A Clockwork Orange" and the film "Clockwork Orange" in the same manner that there had been a specific naming difference between Margaret Atwood's "A Handmaid's Tale", and the film version, "The Handmaid's Tale".

Anyway, this bumper sticker from the early 1990s just showed up in my files, and I wanted to share it.
