Question

According to Pynchon, why is it best to read 1984 not as an allegory?

Answer 1

Answer:

'1984' is the best book to be read.

Explanation:

“1984” is one of the greatest books of the 20th century written by George Orwell. It is a well-written book and has a great story. We need to think deeply about the things mentioned in the book.

The book is intended more as a warning about tendencies within liberal democracies. One of the themes of this book is nostalgia. It tells us about how societies are becoming horribly wrong.  And so wrong that nostalgia is the only way one can find joy in their lives. So, Thomas Pynchon believes that it should not be read as an allegory.
