hungryheart87 's review for:
The Road to Wigan Pier
by George Orwell
One of the most influential books I've ever read. So much of what he says is as true now as it was 79 years ago, and it's both heartening and gutwrenching to think how far we've come and how far away we still are. His predictions of fascism's continued domination into the last years of the 30s and early 40s are astonishing. Likewise, his vicious criticisms of the left and rallying calls for a new type of left politics are as important today as they were then. Orwell remains one of my great literary loves and political inspirations. I wonder what he'd think of Britain today.
