The National Review Online has posted John H. Miller’s podcast with Jeffrey Meyers, author of the new book Orwell: Life and Art.

“Orwell showed [in Homage to Catalonia] that the left…were fighting Franco, and the facists, and they were also fighting themselves. And one of the reasons that Orwell turned so much against the Communists is that the Communists were trying to eliminate every other party on the left,” says Jeffrey Meyers, author of Orwell: Life and Art.

The book collects Meyers’s essays on Orwell written over a 40 year period.
