21. A conversation with Liam Knight, University of Birmingham Reading Orwell

    • Books

Today I talk to Liam Knight, a PhD student at the University of Birmingham working on a thesis addressing the question of 'endotextuality' in dystopian fiction. We talk about books within books and texts within texts, focusing on Orwell but with an eye on some other dystopian writers, including Margaret Atwood. In addition to his PhD research, Liam runs a brilliant GCSE revision resource, 'Dystopia Junkie', which you can find on YouTube.
