I suspect his experiences and disillusion fighting in the Spanish Civil War are akin to the moment when Newton was hit in the head by an apple. His book 'Homage to Catalonia' supports that notion.As much as I'd like to, I don't consider '1984' to be partisan. I believe it illustrates a dark, paranoid, extremist side of the human mind. And few of us (no matter how many college degrees we may have affirming our intelligence) are immune from or can recognize or admit when we have been sucked into this brand of hate and madness.</blockquote>
