Customer Reviews

Better than the Orwell reader book

Gives you an idea of his politics, reviews and the presures of an reviewer of both US and GB published titles 5 years prior to his death. Letters, reviews, and timescale which give an idea of the authors concerns, rather than what a biographer interpets it to be be.Revealing for those who have read most of Orwells output.
