The Ministry of Truth: The Biography of George Orwell's 1984 by Dorian Lynskey

5.0

I know the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four well, and I'm an Orwell fan. The portrait of Orwell as a flawed and driven human being, versus Saint George or George the Snitch, is refreshing, and the studies of the political and historical contexts of the novel fascinating. I learned a lot.
