1948 (Paperback)

1948 is a comic verse-novel, auaciously rewriting George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four in Pushkin sonnets. Set during the 1948 Olympics, it offers a radical alternative history of the Cold War, in which Britain has a Labour-Communist coalition government, the Royal Family has fled to Rhodesia and the US threatens to impose an economic blockade on Britain. Featuring cartoons drawn especially for the book, 1948 combines hard-boiled detective novels and Pushkin sonnetry, film-noir and Ealing comedy.
