"Between The Bullet and The Lie": Kristian Williams on George Orwell

Kristian Williams on George Orwell

This week on The Final Straw, Bursts presents a conversation with Kristian Williams about his recently published book, Between The Lie & The Bullet: Essays on Orwell, published by AK Press. Kristian is maybe best known for authoring Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America.

For the hour we speak about Kristian's reading of Orwell, the importance of intellectual honesty, weaknesses in modern Anarchist engagements with ideas and facts on the ground and other topics stemming from the book.  A slightly longer version of this conversation will be available in our podcast, which can be downloaded from our website.  More writings & interviews by
Kristian can be found at KristianWilliams.com.

Hear Bursts prior interviews with Kristian on the writings & anarchism of Oscar Wilde as well as on Kristian's book, Our Enemies In Blue.

We'd like to apologize for the strange sound during most of Kristian's portions.  This'll be present in upcoming interviews, it's a technical difficulty that hopefully we'll have sorted quite soon.  Thanks for bearing with us!
