Poor Orwell, with Eliot he had a Snowball's chance in Harvard to get published. Pretty upfront about rejecting it for political reasons. His more literary criticisms would have just a wee bit more heft if TS wasn't the "honored" author of a bunch of indigestible, hooey dripping, cat poems [yeah, if you've ever suffered through "Cats" you can thank Mr. Eliot]
Next thing we'll find out is that Updike was behind O'Toole's difficulties in getting published.

T.S. Eliot as the keeper of the pinko orthodoxy? Odd, but not that odd. Clearly, Eliot could tell that Animal Farm was a good novel (to put it mildly). But this was 1944, and pinkos everywhere were enamored of Uncle Joe (most still are). So no Kant do. Planet Pepe in a nutshell.
