"A respected biographer and no stranger to his subject" (Newark
Star-Ledger), Meyers delves into the complex life of the man whose
visionary work gave us the great anti-utopias of modern literature.
"The breadth of his research is impressive" (New York Times Book
Review), drawing on a close study of the new edition of Orwell's
Complete Works, personal interviews, and unpublished material in
London's Orwell Archive.
Meyers's "briskly paced, absorbing narrative . . . offers keen
insights" (Boston Sunday Globe) on Orwell's intellectual
development, as well as his human failings -- his childhood
insecurities, his political dilemmas, and his conflicted
relationships with women. "Leagues in front of" Orwell's previous
biographers, Meyers "convincingly demonstrates the essence of
Orwell's] character" (Denver Colorado] Post), revealing a "much
more helpful and believable portrait" (Paul Theroux).
