ISBN: 9781616954949.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA darkly comic debut novel about advertising, truth, single malt, Scottish hospitality—or lack thereof—and George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four.\n\nRay Welter, who was until recently a highflying advertising executive in Chicago, has left the world of newspeak behind. He decamps to the isolated Scottish Isle of Jura in order to spend a few months in the cottage where George Orwell wrote most of his seminal novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ray is miserable, and quite prepared to make his troubles go away with the help of copious quantities of excellent scotch.\nBut a few of the local islanders take a decidedly shallow view of a foreigner coming to visit in order to sort himself out, and Ray quickly finds himself having to deal with not only his own issues but also a community whose eccentricities are at times amusing and at others downright dangerous. Also, the locals believe—or claim to believe—that there’s a werewolf about, and against his better judgment, Ray’s misadventures build to the night of a traditional, boozy werewolf hunt on the Isle of Jura on the summer solstice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soho Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44980538441781,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616954949","price":82.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616954949_3dba9486-ac2c-4dc0-b08f-20815ecd60ca.jpg?v=1778693790","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/burning-down-george-orwells-house-9781616954949","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
