Orwell and Writing "1984"


    I have posted this before, and I missed his birthday (25 June). The Guardian article below details how important the novel was to him, and how writing it hastened his death. Some criticize the book for being too journalistic, but to me that is no issue. It is a riveting work that deserves to be read and re-read.
