Among everything else, Orwell is a master of English. This can be hard to see because his mastery never calls attention to itself. His focus is always the point.
Strangely to me, Politics and the English Language was never assigned in any of the classes I took at Berkeley. 1984 was by popular acclamation The Book. But it seemed that PATEL was ranked too high for undergrads. It should've been required English 1A reading.
