Has George Orwell lost his saintly luster? In \u003ci\u003eThe Never End\u003c\/i\u003e, rabble-rouser, dogged investigator, and consummate literary stylist John Reed collects two decades of subject-Orwell findings previously published in \u003ci\u003ePank\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGuernica\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Brooklyn Rail\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rumpus\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Press\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Believer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarper’s Magazine \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eParis Review\u003c\/i\u003e. Reed’s treatment of Orwell is corrective and peerlessly contemporary; he views Orwell in a twenty-first century global context, considering Orwell’s collaboration with Cold War intelligence operations—US and UK—with unfaltering objectivity. It’s hard to imagine that Orwell—in our own moment of global doublethink—wouldn’t have wanted his devotion to contrariety applied to the literary legacy he left behind. \u003ci\u003eThe Never End \u003c\/i\u003eis atonce a hatchet job and a celebration. \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e, based on a previously unknown Russian short story? \u003ci\u003eAnimal Farm\u003c\/i\u003e, deployed by the CIA, MI6 and the Congress for Cultural Freedom? Orwell, turning over blacklists in a McCarthy-esque act of betrayal? The Cold War? Does it last forever? Russia, the “Axis of Evil,” and now China? But. Orwell. Course syllabi. Literary laurels. Snitch. Why do we keep coming back? For the wrong reasons? Or because we know Old Benjamin would want us to know the truth?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-07-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819907670\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-99-0765-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 188\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Harper’s Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47717384421516,"sku":"9789819907670","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819907670.jpg?v=1776869009","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819907670","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
