George Orwell: A literary mediocrity (?)
Saw this on the BBC website today. Would you agree, or is it just a case of a journalist trying to make more of a name for himself through a controversial claim?

George Orwell was a literary mediocrity and his views on the importance of plain writing are plain wrong, argues writer Will Self.
Was George Orwell a literary mediocrity?
