This novel -- or at the very least Winston -- has a gender problem. I suppose one could argue that it was intentional; the Party, too, has a gender problem. I think this might be a bit too charitable to Orwell, even if he is saying some useful things on the topic, as he himself had a homosexuality problem. It's striking to me how I didn't notice this in the past. 3.5* so far (down from 5).
