Gordon Bowker's new biography, written to coincide with Orwell’s centenary, includes revelations about Orwell's family background; his superstitious streak and youthful flirtation with black magic; and his chaotic and reckless sex life, which included at least one homoerotic relationship. It also highlights the strange circumstances of his first marriage and provides remarkable new evidence of his experiences in Spain and their nightmarish consequences.
