Overview
A new and definitive edition of Keep the Aspidistra Flying, introduced and annotated by Orwell's prize-winning biographer. With additional content from Orwell himself.
A new edition of Orwell''s end-of-tether third novel, introduced and annotated by his biographer, D.J. Taylor
First published in 1936, and drawing on Orwell''s own experiences of working in a Hampstead bookshop, Keep the Aspidistra Flying tracks the career of Gordon Comstock (''nearly 30 and moth-eaten already'') a struggling poet who tries to rebel against the conventions of middle-class English life, only to be drawn inexorably back into the world that grinds him down.
This new edition includes an introduction and extensive end-notes, and an appendix containing original responses to the novel as well as letters and documents from the period in which it was written.
