I thought it a very notable dys/chronicity to discover that there is a blog that is now publishing, day by day, albeit 70 years late, the diary entries of Eric Blair during his sanitarium stay in Morocco.
It is pretty cool to think that Eric's diary would be seen by the world at large, as though there were some all-seeing eye (panopticon/Big Brother) from the future surveying all he said or did - or thought - through this new medium of web 2.0. Wonder what he would have thought, had he known we would have been able to see even the mundane newspaper clippings of recipes he included?
Pretty cool.
BTW - Eric Blair's penname was George Orwell.
