1985 [ i.e. Nineteen eighty five]

In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell's 1984 in one book. The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears', creating a critique that is literature in its own right. Part two is Burgess' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be.

  • "Sombere toekomstvisie op een gedeïndividualiseerde samenleving die wordt gedirigeerd door een allesoverheersende en onaantastbare macht van de vakbond."

  • "Inspired by and intended as a tribute to George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Burgess' book is in two parts. The first is a series of essays and self-interviews (Burgess is the voice of the interviewer and the interviewee) discussing aspects of Orwell's book. The second is a novella set in 1985, seven years distant at the time of the novel's writing."
  • "'1985' combines a devastating critique of Orwell's '1984' with a terrifying vision of the future."@en
  • "Publié en langue anglaise à la fin de 1978, ce "roman" se présente en deux parties distinctes. La première moitié consiste en neuf essais critiques d'inégale longueur sur la situation actuelle en Angleterre, par rapport à ce qu'elle était en 1948, au moment où Orwell écrivit son fameux roman. C'est la meilleure partie du livre, incisive, vivace et réflexive. Quant à la seconde moitié (p. 131-293), c'est une dystopie ou une cacotopie à court terme où la "conversation piece" l'emporte sur la description romanesque. Syndicalisme intégral, grêves continuelles, influence économique arabe sont plutôt l'objet de longues discussions de la part de Jones, le porte-parole de l'auteur, que d'une réelle dramatisation. Somme toute, assez décevant, cet ensemble vaut par le sujet et touchera surtout les futurologues et ceux qui ont lu le ##1984## d'Orwell."
