Keep the Aspidistra Flying

Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a bitter, ironic novel. The protagonist is Gordon Comstock, an unrecognized poet, failed writer, forced to work in an advertising agency to earn a living. He has a real talent for composing slogans, but his work inspires him with disgust, it seems to be a caricature of literary creativity. He despises material values and the vulgarity of the everyday way of life, the symbol of which is the ficus on the window. He blames money for all his failures.

George Orwell
George Orwell, egentlig Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), var britisk forfatter og journalist. Han blev født i Bengalen og opdraget i det britiske kostskolesystem på Eton. Fra 1922-27 var han udstationeret ved det britiske politi i Burma, og disse erfaringer er afspejlet i hans debutroman, BURMA-DAGE fra 1934. Orwell skrev efterfølgende flere romaner og essays, men slog helt afgørende igennem med sine sidste to, satiriske romaner KAMMERAT NAPOLEON fra 1947 og 1984 fra 1950.
