The Ministry of Truth is where history and facts both significant and insignificant are rewritten to reflect the party' ...

As if spitting out all the accumulated venom on the woman he took for his enemy, Kikuji hurried into the shade of the park."

As Chikako cleans the cottage, "The sound of her broom became the sound of a broom sweeping the contents of his skull, and her cloth polishing the veranda a cloth rubbing at his skull." This extraordinary metaphor gives us great insight into Kikuji's attitude towards his past and his memories. There are t ...
