"This fictional biography looks at George Orwell’s life from 1935, until his death in 1950, at the tragically young age of forty six. The central theme of the novel is the writing of, “1984,” on the island of Jura, when he is suffering from tuberculos"

"Compelling biographical novel about one of the greatest modern authors, George Orwell.
I had read and re-read his two most famous books, Animal Farm and 1984 (and, later, Homage to Catalonia) but did not know before how brave, heroic really, he was i" Read more of this review » |

Concise and well-written, clearly illustrating the parallels between pre-WWII Europe especially, and present day developments: Franco, Hitler, Mussolini all have their present day corollaries if you study patterns of speech and behaviour. And warfare ...more |

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood:
"Took me forever to get to this - and I think I was a bit in fear of the 'white african childhood memoir'. But it is a fine book describing in a series of short stories/episodes the childhood of Bobo, who moves around Zimbabwe (Rhodesia to begin with)"

“yes of course this is not new, has been going on throughout history... Could there be any real difference when this 'ruling class' used words like justice, fair play, equity, order, or ven socialism? -used them, might even have believed in them, or believed in them for a time; but meanwhile everything fell to pieces while still, as always, the administrators lived cushioned against the worst, trying to talk away, wish away, legislate away, the worst- for to admit that it was happening was to admit to themselves useless, admit the extra security they enjoyed was theft and not payment for services rendered...”

“This is the sort of thing we accepted as normal. Yet for all of us there were moments when the game we were all agreeing to play simply could not stand up to events: we would be gripped by feelings of unreality, like nausea. Perhaps this feeling, that the ground was dissolving under our feet, was the real enemy… or we believed it to be so. Perhaps our tacit agreement that nothing much— or at least nothing irrecoverable— was happening was because for us the enemy was Reality, was to allow ourselves to know what was happening.”
