Very sad to hear Professor Jack Metzgar has passed. He was a committed & passionate working class man that found himself like some of us have in the University system. He was committed to research on the class struggle .@wcstudies

'In June 1928, Orwell — then still known as Eric Arthur Blair — moved from London to Paris, with the aim of learning French, living cheaply, and writing novels. That didn’t quite work out: although he had some success writing shorter-length journalism...'
