Deeply committed to socialist economics but strongly opposed to communism and its totalitarian tendencies, especially Soviet style communism under Stalin. George Orwell himself was a disillusioned socialist. Britain was also struggling to recover from WWII economically. This was also a time when the old European empires were in rapid retreat, the seat of Western power had shifted to the USA and Britain had yet to develop its own nuclear weapons. ![]() ![]() The threat of global war was renewed however this time with the prospect of nuclear weapons. It was also a time when communism was spreading globally, particularly in Asia. Released in 1949 it was written during the immediate aftermath of WWII as the Iron Curtain descended over Eastern Europe and Stalin tightened his grip on power. To best understand the book it helps to understand a little about the circumstances in which it was written. ![]() It might be most famous for exploring the idea of technological mass surveillance but at its core it is a book about power.

He describes the gut-wrenching time following his risky spinal surgery, which comes about halfway through the book. He has to plan ahead for his movements, especially if it is windy, say 50 miles an hour, which is when he often finds himself flat on the ground. He says, “…Instead of trying to kill it, I invited Parkinson’s with me on the set.”Ī tremendous effort accompanies every step he takes. ![]() It was when he decided to cast himself as a “working actor with a disability” that work began to come his way. ![]() He considers himself luggage in his wheelchair. He is now enjoying a highly desirable prewar apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife, Tracy Pollan, his beloved dog, Gus, whom he strives to keep “north of 100 pounds,” and his Parkinson’s Disease. In fact, he says he has fallen there so much, he has “left a patina of knee skin on the concrete.”Īs a young actor, Fox had to live in a roach-infested flat in L.A. (He is surely an inveterate reader.) For instance, when he is talking about how hard his exercises are with his physical therapist, he tells us the man’s exercises no doubt: “have been approved by Torquemada.” He describes how he has flattened himself on a particular New York City street, many, many times. His intelligence and outstanding use of language is on every page. ![]() ![]() ![]() He got hit by a car five weeks before the book starts, and so Clare is alone to hear Yuniel Mata explain why he makes horror films. Clare has come to Havana's annual Festival of New Latin American Cinema to watch it, which her film-scholar husband wanted to do, except that he's dead. It comes not from Clare, the protagonist, but from Yuniel Mata, the fictional director of Cuba's first horror film. Otherwise, you could mistake Van Den Berg's mission statement for a stray bit of theory. In her follow-up, The Third Hotel, Van Den Berg flips the script: The first thing she does is tell the reader exactly what she's about to do. There was a strange disease, a search for the cure. This is how Laura Van Den Berg started her acclaimed debut novel, Find Me. Foreboding, or such happiness that we know there's sadness coming.

I didn’t even question why The Tiffany Girls were there among the early psychoanalysts. My finger frozen on the track pad, scrolled back. The back of a truck flying open and its cargo of oranges rolling onto the road while the driver drove on, oblivious. Army parachuters jumping from a tower on a distant hill. An animal topiary among the weeds of an abandoned house. Sometimes we were surprised by something wonderful. We passed store windows, people walking dogs, empty lots out into the country past billboards, pine trees, fields, cows. ![]() My father never said a word, just drove through neighborhoods that all looked the same to me, but where my mother could always find something unique. ![]() Hours passed with my mother enthusiastically saying, “Look at that” “Did you see that?” and each time she’d turn around to make sure I saw it, and I would dutifully look.
