“I have
not written a novel for seven years, but I hope to write another fairly soon.
It is bound to be a failure, every book is a failure, but I do know with some
clarity what kind of book I want to write.”
– George Orwell, "Why I Write" (1946)
In 1947, he started Nineteen
Eighty-Four in earnest, so this was his “another” novel, “bound to be a
failure.”
Happy Birthday, George
Orwell, you immortal failure, you! . . .
