A Conversation for George Orwell - Author

NOT Banned in S. Africa

Post 1

George Orwell had a couple of books not banned in S. Africa - but the comments on them were interesting... 1984 was "borderline" because of concerns that it "encouraged rebellion". Meanwhile, animal farm was "a good story", but there was a minor problem that it "espoused communism".

Well, it made me laugh, anyway - no matter how serious it was...
