"I have among my books various works by Hewlett Johnson, the "red Dean of Canterbury", published in the 1940s. In their gushing, literal acceptance of every Soviet lie, they read oddly like one of Peter Simple's parodies. Was this man a fool? Was he a villain? Was he something of both? I have never bothered checking. All I can say is that his works remain a good example of how a thoroughly evil system of thought and government can be portrayed with some persuasive force as its exact opposite."

Nothing new under the sun.
