And I see your point about the censorship element of the novel, but the fact remains that truth did still manage to assert itself, if only briefly; hope lies with the proles. As for the title thing, fair point, corrected, etc. <br /><br />And BWT, let's not even consider the ghastliness that is "Creative Talent".<br /><br />Good points, anon. I was never quite sure whether Peter Gabriel's early albums were untitled, or all called 'Peter Gabriel'.<br /><br />Gadjo, I think the novel has filtered into modern culture to such an extent that it's gone beyond 'good' or 'bad'.<br /><br />Ah, but that's creative, Wendy.

The design is certainly clever, but at some stage utility has to be a consideration.<br /><br />In any case, is the design really in keeping with the novel? Such obvious censorship was not the sort practised in the world of Big Brother; offending material was not blacked out, it was deleted and seamlessly replaced by an alternative version. That's the work that Smith does in the Ministry of Truth.<br /><br />Finally, and sorry to be pedantic, but Orwell never wrote a novel called "1984". It's "Nineteen Eighty-Four".Zettelnoreply@blogger.com
