1948: A Critical and Creative Prequel to Orwell's 1984
Brian May
1948 offers an answer to the question, what would George Orwell have written after 1984, had he lived? It quotes, parodies, and pastiches Orwell’s Diaries of the period just before his death, and offers the reader a prequel to 1984 that explores the gaps, equivocations, and contradictions in Orwell's last great novel.
