“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats,”…has to be one of George Orwell’s most brilliant remarks.
It resonates with me and, from what I’ve seen in almost 70 years of living, it applies generally. Certainly to Wormtongue who not only lied in his candy-coated “autobiography” but even lied about having written it. Making it no “auto” biography at all.
But, like his former terrorist mentor Bill Ayers—the recently confessed author of Worm’s scurrilous book—our first black president is a sociopath with no conscience.
