Animal Farm 2.0: The George Orwell sequel you didn’t know you needed

Animal Farm is one of the 20th century’s most iconic books. So why make a sequel? Dorian Lynskey is joined by Adam Biles, literary director at Shakespeare and Company and author of the new book Beast of England, to explore how Manor Farm provides the perfect imaginary landscape for assessing our fraught and fractured politics.  “Watching UK politics from afar gave the impression of a frog slowly being boiled.” “My feeling became: a plague on all of your houses.”  “When you romanticise a group of people you flatten their experiences.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Book link: https://www.galleybeggar.co.uk/paperback-shop/beasts-of-england  Written and presented by Dorian Lynskey.
