George Orwell

[Shapeshifter]

Is George Orwell's adopted son, Richard Horacio Blair still alive and do we know anything about him?

[Sylday]

Orwell's adopted son would be only about 60 today, so hopefully is living a quiet life somewhere. There is a short article about him, written in 1984, at http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/ctc/docs/onlyheir.htm

You could try doing a Google search - but note that the second name should be Horatio, with a t, not c.

Thanks Sylday. Very informative.

He was interviewed on Radio 4 a few months back. I think in was the "Today" programme.
