Time Is on Orwell's Side: Twice!
In 2005, Time critics Lev Grossman and Richard Lacayo selected not one but two of Orwell's dystopian satires for the magazine's "100 Best English-Language Novels" list from 1923 to the present. Somehow no one was censored, banished, or tortured, and 1984 and Animal Farm managed to share the glitterary stage.
