| The odd thing is Americans seem to take Aldous Huxley enormously more seriously than the Brits do, and they may be right in doing so. |

| Demoting Orwell's masterpieces (1984 and Animal Farm) to "juvenile science fiction stuff" while holding up Keep the Aspidistra Flying—a mid-tier social realism novel about a middle-class poet struggling with commercialism—is top-tier British condescension (extra points for misspelling Aspidistra while doing so). |
