Now we know why you write. I'm among readers who may await another post about picking George Orwell as your literary hero. Maybe it's not entirely the familiar George Orwell of "1984" and "Animal Farm." Maybe Orwell's OTHER fiction and non-fiction? These are lost treasures worthy of hero worship status. "Burmese Days," "Down and Out in Paris," "The Road to Wigan Pier," and more. Here's your hed: "Why George Orwell?" We await the -30-.
I'm always impressed by you, and now even more. I have all those wonderful books in my office. You are right as usual; at some point I will write about them. Thank you
Many of us who are old and pay attention forget that many aren't and don't.
Then again, they are likely not reading your column, but we'd like to hope.
Beautiful, Jack. I’m going to look up Orwell’s essay - it’s a question that comes up regularly. Thanks for writing!
Thank you!
Please don't stop. We need your historical perspective and wisdom, now more than ever.
I really appreciate that. I don't plan to quit!
