Animal Farm spotlight’s the oppression of a Stallin-esque socialist dictatorship. A great read! I actually read this just before Cassandra and I read the author’s larger work, 1984. In truth, it’s easier to read Animal Farm–the whimsey of talking, self-governing, and/or scheming animals creating a gray, hopeless dystopia for themselves removes one from the more foreboding possibility of such an oppression unnervingly unraveled in the prophecy of 1984.
Must read for this election year…
