Winston writes 2+2= in the table at the end. My copy is a Penguin edition from the sixties, 65 I think. What else would he write? At this point Winston is as confused as he never wished to be. Not to mention the fact that he spends his days drinking Victory Gin in Chestnut Tree Cafe. He doesn't know anymore what 2+2=. He knows vaguely that he used to think it equaled 4, but now it might equal 5 or 3. He doesn't know. I also posted a question on the message board if you have any ideas about that. Thanks,
Jill
