Orwell speak is spreading to what kind of literature you are allowed to enjoy
... more extreme advocates of 'new speak' will tell you that imagination and invention are outmoded contrivances; that to inhabit the subjectivity of a character unlike the author is an act of appropriation, even colonialism; that the only authentic and politically defensible mode of narrative is autobiography.
Of course you could defend yourself in a quantum wave function way
I am writing in this way but at the same time I am not writing in that way'
and the only way to measure it is to measure it and that is an impossible thing to do
in this way we remain in the land of indeterminacy
