Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 exactly, it was an IMAGINED INTERVIEW, a Platonic or Socratic dialogue, not a real interview, and not a dictionary at all, which is still puzzling me. IS there an Orwell dictionary online? Now a Burgess Clockwork Orange Nadsat dictionary would be worthwhile.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Yes, I know it was an imagined interview...Orwell died in, when? 1950? And, they were *discussing* current events. Still, the interview was mainly definitions, which is where I came up with the 'dictionary' which was an obvious lack of a better term.
