In The Ministry of Truth, Dorian Lynskey charts the life of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four: one of the most influential books of the 20th Century, a perennial bestseller, and a work that remains more relevant than ever in today's tumultuous world.
Praise for 33 Revolutions Per Minute: A History of Protest Songs
'Lynskey's excellent and exhaustive history of protest music could not be more timely . . . A fascinating journey' Sunday Times
'Lucid and authoritative' Guardian
'[An] agile, many-tentacled writer . . . Mr. Lynskey has an eye for fetching detail.' New York Times
'Part of me would have liked a glorious multimedia version of the book . . . but that could detract from the strength of the writing. The book's achievement is not only to make me want to listen to the songs, but to experience more widely the people behind the music.' John Self
Everything you wanted to know about 1984 but were too busy misusing the word -Orwellian- to ask.
