Welcome to Litsy!

Today was my last day at my job. Among many other things, I received this as a gift.

Man, George Orwell does not come off well in this book!
An account of the first wife of George Orwell, the celebrated author of 1984 and Animal Farm, shining a light on his misogyny. The book however transcends beyond just the life of the wife, it brings into light the inherent patriarchy prevalent in our society since times immemorial, with a special focus of male misogynistic authors and their privilege.

A friend is the right companion in adversity. Love how when George was struck with poverty he was willing to share it out with the Russian guy.

I really liked the black and white drawings of this graphic novel, it definitely helped to bring across the mood of the novel. I am not sure if I will read the original because the dystopy seems rather depressing. I am glad I choose to check out the graphic novels first.

What a scary thought of the history being revised every now and then. Things that have been your past today, won‘t be tomorrow‘s past.

Sometimes just by thinking about it I magic books into Little Free Libraries. That was the case with the tagged book yesterday which I was pleased to discover on my way to two hours of ballet last night in the rain.

This author is brilliant. Somehow she makes a book that on the surface looks to be about gardening and turns it into a historical look at the socioeconomic situation in Europe (specifically mostly UK and Russia) during the author's lifetime and after. Like who has time and resources to pursue hobbies, for example.
