Mark Porton asked Michael C. Perkins:

I love that quote by Hitchens re Orwell, Michael. I've just finished 1984 - and yep, too true. I miss Hitchens very much - a wonderful mind. Imagine him and Orwell having a chat over a coffee?

Michael C. Perkins Hi Mark:

Just got a notice of your question via email.

Orwell is back in the news, with some invoking him in a way that's not accurate....
