[Petronski]

That whole middle section where he finds an old history book and Orwell goes on to transcribe huge sections of it is a structural mess.

I don't recall that section at all and scanning my copy I cannot locate it.

As for this:

Art about soullessness and tedium doesn’t have to be soulless and tedious.

Of course it doesn't have to be so. But in so being it can succeed.

Well, anyway, there's no accounting for taste I suppose.
