This was an interesting non-fiction. It bopped back and forth between discussing Orwell's activism and the capitalist and imperialist aspects of the importation of roses to England. The juxtaposition was fascinating.

Day 26 of the #30DayBookChallenge is a #biography I think everyone should read. It is part #investigativejournalism, part biography, #politicaltheory and #nature writing and #history combined. #OrwellsRoses by #RebeccaSolnit
A note I wrote about biographies - well, at least the few that I’ve read. In my note, I have high praise for (non-anarchist?) #RebeccaSolnit and her biography of #GeorgeOrwell titled #OrwellsRoses! Ⓐ

Rebecca Solnit’s book Orwell’s Roses
I’m not as enthusiastic about #OrwellsRoses by #RebeccaSolnit as many readers and critics…
I’ve been reading… I’ve been reading. Books number 26, 27 and 28 on the road to 50!
