I first read 1984 in January of 2020. At that time, I saw the red flags and some haunting similarities. Reading the graphic novel now two years later after all that’s happened since? I bitterly laughed my way through it because there is so much of our current world mirrored on the pages now. It happened so abruptly (but then again, maybe not) and continues on. It feels like most days the mourning period is over. 

Terrific illustrations and not as condensed as I’d expected it to be. The reality slap aside, it was great to revisit the story. A true work of genius. In comparison to real life, I maintain my optimism that we might not ever reach the exact same bleakness conveyed in the book. And if we do, that hope is never lost. Regardless, though my eyes are open, reading this was a good reminder to keep them that way.
