Reviews

An excellent story-teller, intense and skillful

—— Daily Telegraph

He can perform prodigies. He can fascinate us by pure evocation, by the tensity of the situation

—— Times Literary Supplement

Hemingway's style, at its best, is a superb vehicle for revealing tenderness of feeling beneath descriptions of brutality

—— Guardian

A revealing look at a beloved, mysterious writer.

—— Mail Online

[M]odest and self-abnegating.

—— Telegraph

Orwell saw … that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power

—— Adam Gopnik , New Yorker

[Orwell fought] the evils of the world and the weakness of his body to the day of his death, always striving, striving to tell the truth about what he saw and what he felt

—— Nicholas Walter , Anarchy: A Journal of Anarchist Ideas
