One of my favourites. It's been awhile since I'd read the book but I believe the author used Slavic words in the book and the characters used those words like slang. I'd once read, Burgess wasn't happy with Kubrick taking the last few pages of the book out of the movie; at the end of the book, Alex is supposed to have understood what he'd done was wrong and eventually become a fine and upstanding young citizen, but Kubrick used the different US ending of the novel and made Alex into a corrupt and uncontrollable sooka of a politician.
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz like uses like a lot.
