New to this board, but what is /lit/'s opinion on George Orwell?

His fiction is shit, his essays are good.

Do you include Down and Out In Paris and London under his non-fiction?

/lit/ despises him because he's popular and Normies like him.

Personally I think he's not all bad, and it's good to read 1984 because it's contributed a lot to our cultural dialog.

Damn, you must know some pretty sophisticated Normies. The troglodytes who live near me don't care about anything that doesn't have a Kardashian on it.

His best work in my opinion is Homage to Catalonia.

Some of his essays are groundbreaking and very simple to understand unlike 99% of the essayists who are just showing off. My favorite is Shooting an Elephant.

As an Indian i must say he had very little insight into Indian politics but good knowledge of the social structure. Sometimes he does sound superficial tho, so it's a mixed bag.

he's a limpwristed faggot.his fiction is dogshit. his essays are mediocre.

>he's a limpwristed faggot
Give me five specific examples

Homage to Catalonia is better than 1984 or Animal Farm

He is a supreme mediocrity.

All I've read is Animal Farm, 1984 and Down and Out in Paris and London. Liked them all.
