The Ministry of Truth by Dorian Lynskey
In The Ministry of Truth, Dorian Lynskey charts the life of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four: one of the most influential books of the 20th Century, a perennial bestseller, and a work that remains more relevant than ever in today's tumultuous world.
Fascinating. . Freshly and powerfully argued . . . If you have even the slightest interest in Orwell or in the development of our culture, you should not miss this engrossing, enlightening book. -- John Carey, The Sunday Times
The Ministry of Truth is the best book I have read in a long time. Fizzing with ideas yet superbly readable . . . [this] is both a warning and an exhortation for us all to be stubborn as Orwell was with facts, and like Winston Smith to cling to the belief that 2+2=4. -- C. J. Sansom
Everything you wanted to know about 1984 but were too busy misusing the word -Orwellian- to ask. -- Caitlin Moran
‘The Ministry of Truth has the zest and momentum of a Stephen King novel, and the piercing clarity and dark sensibility of Orwell himself.’ - Cass Sunstein, Bloomberg
