In "Who is Big Brother? A Reader’s Guide to George Orwell" Taylor guides fans & new readers alike through the many twists & turns of Orwell’s books, life & thought. As a writer he intended his works to be transparent & instantly accessible, yet they are also full of secrets & surprises, tantalising private histories, & psychological quirks. From his conflicted relationship with religion to his competing anti-imperialism & fascination with empire, “Who Is Big Brother?” delves into the complex development of this essential yet enigmatic voice.
