An oldie, but a goodie, if you havent seen it for a while. The original Time Magazine review of Nineteen Eighty-Four. This article coupled with the Feb 1950 article after Orwell/Blair's death leaves no question as to how important 1984 was seen immediately upon publication. I'll drop in a link to the Feb 1950 article and the review of Animal Farm as well. Hope this helps someone. -Pasha Review of 1984 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,800425,00.html Feb 6 1950, on Orwell's death a review of his impact http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,811874,00.html Review of Animal Farm http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,776652,00.html

Thanks for those. Odd to see the word "Orwellian" used as early as 1950. However, the reviewer uses it to mean Orwell's "forthrightness of mind and a limber, cutting style" and it presumably didn't carry the connotations it has nowadays. _________________ Plusgood duckspeak.
