หนังสือเขียนมา 70 ปีแล้ว แต่ทำไมประเด็นในหนังสือเล่มนี้หลายเรื่องมันชวนให้นึกถึงประเทศบางประเทศจัง... (ก็ไม่รู้สินะ)

What Orwell can accomplish in this 100 page book shows that many author are more enamored with their own voice rather than trying to convey an important message.

reread this summer, fun and easy, and really interesting to think about it within the context in which it was published, which was described in the foreword of my edition of the book (rejected by many publishers because of its controversial nature).
