George Orwell is Blogging

"Marx interested at first, but after smelling it was frightened & ran away. The people here normally kill all snakes. As usual, the tongue referred to as 'fangs.' "

Orwell, one of my favorite authors, and an intellect referred to time and again in the Blogsphere, began keeping a journal on August 9 in 1939. Now

"The Orwell Prize, Britain's pre-eminent prize for political writing, is publishing George Orwell's diaries as a blog. From 9th August 2008, Orwell's domestic and political diaries (from 9th August 1938 until October 1942) will be posted in real-time, exactly 70 years after the entries were written.

You'll want to put Orwell the Blogger into your RSS feedreader (Yes, you have one. No? Get one.) or at the very least bookmark the site at

The Orwell Diaries
. By the way, Marx was the Orwells' dog.
