Why is this novel so often overlooked?
>>
Because Burgess sucks. All of Orwell's degeneracy with none of the talent or intellect.
>>
because it's extremely mid
if you're going to pick an underrated burgess book i'd go for end of the world news
>>
bc burgess is a hack and kubrick did his only good book better than he did
>>
1984 is kino because soviet russia is kino. the absolute psychopathic purging and paranoia and control and oppressive government is great literature. it's aesthetic as hell and extreme
thatcherism is just a bit miserable and shit and nowhere near as fun

Degenerate post

sexually deviant, serial adulterer, atheist nihilist leftist utilitarian spoiled brat cuck who'd rather tramp around with drunkards and homosexuals than hold down a job.

his only redeeming qualities were that he could string a sentence or two together, policed his own lefty peers and had an appropriate view towards totalitarianism.

just guessing that you guys haven't read the book and are just shitposting

Slanderous spite form a place of degeneracy.
Wherever this ultimately comes from, it is degenerate. Shut up.

What does "the book" have to do with Orwell being a cunt, retard?

>>25088384
Not an argument
>>
>>25088341
Kind of crazy how extreme of a moralist he was given his personal life
>>
>>25088425
Kind of crazy how morality is being applied to Orwell for writing 1984 while the immoral rulers of the current 1984-like world rape and eat children.
Like, are you getting paid to smear him?
>>
>>25088595
lol

>>25088187
Haven't read it, but the wanting seed is also overlooked
>>
>>25088895
1985 and The Wanting Seed seem like more accurate depictions of modern Britain than Brave New World, 1984 or A Clockwork Orange
