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.
It’s a nifty idea. At the moment he’s mooching around a sanatorium, and apparently he’s going to start Getting Political on the 7th of September. Exciting stuff.
