What is poetry if not the revolutionary moment of language, inseparable... from the revolutionary moments of history and from the history of personal life? - Internationale Situationiste, #8, 1963

Orwell’s diary, 70 years to the day(s)

George Orwell’s diary is being posted as a series blog entries.

The Orwell Prize is delighted to announce that, to mark the 70th anniversary of the diaries, each diary entry will be published on this blog exactly seventy years after it was written, allowing you to follow Orwell’s recuperation in Morocco, his return to the UK, and his opinions on the descent of Europe into war in real time. The diaries end in 1942, three years into the conflict.

They just started, so you don’t have much catching up to do yet.
