Important Takeaways:

• ORWELLIAN IRONY: The Left is Now Trying to Cancel George Orwell
• The left has pushed the world to nearly 1984 levels of authoritarianism, but apparently, they don’t want people to know that there was a book that warned people not to do that.
• Could they possibly cancel George Orwell? It sure looks like they’re trying.
• You couldn’t make this up.
• George Orwell was a “sadistic, misogynistic, homophobic, sometimes violent” man who wrote women out of his story, according to a biographer of his wife.
• Anna Funder said that Orwell was a brilliant writer but a complicated man whose personal life was at odds with the “decency” of his writing.
• She has produced a biography of Eileen O’Shaugnessy, Orwell’s wife – highlighting the contributions O’Shaugnessy made to his work, including helping him to write Animal Farm.
• According to Funder, the darkness that runs through 1984 is a reflection of Orwell’s soul.
• Perhaps we should be urging more people to read Orwell’s works instead of focusing on why he was problematic.
