Milan Kundera Quotes

Orwell's 1984 [ ... ] Is Political Thought Disguised As A Novel; The Thinking Is Certainly Lucid And Correct, But It Is Distorted By Its Guise As A Novel, Which Renders It Imprecise And Vague. [ ... ] The Situations And The Characters Are As Flat As A Poster.
The Pernicious Influence Of Orwell's Novel Resides In Its Implacable Reduction Of A Reality To Its Political Dimension Alone, And In Its Reduction Of That Dimension To What Is Exemplarily Negative About It. I Refuse To Forgive This Reduction On The Grounds That It Was Useful As Propaganda In The Struggle Against Totalitarian Evil. For That Evil Is, Precisely, The Reduction Of Life To Politics And Of Politics To Propaganda. So Despite Its Intentions, Orwell's Novel Itself Joins In The Totalitarian Spirit, The Spirit Of Propaganda. It Reduces (and Teaches Others To Reduce) The Life Of A Hated Society To The Simple Listing Of Its Crimes.
