In a chapter in one work by this man, a certain author was found "simpleminded" by Marxistcritics like Deutscher and Norris, and Irving Howe is approvingly quoted for his remark that thatauthor "lives most significantly for his own age."
In a chapter in one work by this man, a certain author was found "simpleminded" by Marxistcritics like Deutscher and Norris, and Irving Howe is approvingly quoted for his remark that thatauthor "lives most significantly for his own age." That chapter is "The Intellectual in Europe: Orwell onCruelty," where this philosopher praises Orwell for making people like O'Brien seem possible, butcontrasts him with Nabokov who was discussed in the "Barber of (*) Kasbeam" section.
