Only today do I discover that the ending of Coming Up for Air isn't generally understood. To me it seems obvious... there's clearly only one course of action for George. All I wanted was the line ofleast resistance. And in my mind I ran over the three possibilities,which were:A. To tell her what I'd really been doing and somehow make herbelieve me.B. To pull the old gag about losing my memory.C. To let her go on thinking it was a woman, and take my medicine.But, damn it! I knew which it would have to be.If any anons have read the book... what do they think George did? To me it seems totally obvious, but I don't want to say to start with, in case it influences people.
What the fuck! Some fucker on this board must have read this book!
I'm thinking it is the case that no fucker on this board has read Orwell's best novel.
