Books I Read: 1984: The Graphic Novel
Fido Nesti’s graphic novel adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 is an absolute dazzler. Having recently read Manu Larcenet’s very disappointing graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road that did a disservice to the source material, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Nesti’s masterful rendering of Orwell’s chillingly accurate foretelling of the nothink era in which we live is a brilliant homage that highlights the important ideas against a backdrop of terror, beauty, and struggle. If you don’t like to think or if you support fascism, you won’t like this book. If you have a brain and want to face the truth of today’s 1984, read it.
