* [[Creator Backlash]]: In an introduction to a later edition of the book, the author called it "pornographic" and an "embarrassment." He considers its main entertainment value to be from "[[Fetish Fuel|raping]] and [[Gorn|ripping]]."
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Burgess was paranoid that he was dying of a brain tumor, so he cranked it out in less than a month.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: In a reversal of the "Hollywood Ending" stereotype, American publishers insisted that the last chapter (where Alex decides to stop being a criminal and raise a family) be removed to make the novel more depressing.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: There were several ideas for how the droogs should be portrayed in a movie adaptation, from preteenage mini-skirted girls to old age pensioners. Anthony Burgess himself would've liked to have the [[Rolling Stones]] play the starring roles, with Mick Jagger as Alex.
