This unauthorized companion to George Orwell�� Animal Farm is a controversial parable about September 11th by one of fiction�� most inventive and provocative writers
Written in 14 days shortly after the September 11th attacks, Snowball�� Chance is an outrageous and unauthorized companion to George Orwell�� Animal Farm, in which exiled pig Snowball returns to the farm, takes charge, and implements a new world order of untrammeled capitalism. Orwell�� ��ll animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others��has morphed into the new rallying cry: ��ll animals are born equal��hat they become is their own affair.��/p>
A brilliant political satire and literary parody, John Reed�� Snowball�� Chance caused an uproar on publication in 2002, denounced by Christopher Hitchens, and barely dodging a lawsuit from the Orwell estate. Now, a decade later, with America in wars on many fronts, readers can judge anew the visionary truth of Reed�� satirical masterpiece.
