Rejection of George Orwell’s Animal Farm by Knopf.  For those of us who slave away behind a keyboard, worth clipping and saving.

    He also said he got a rejection from a publisher who saw no market for animal stories at that time. At least this one understood the point.

    what does NFK or NFX at the end of the letter stand for?

  3. Derek Pearce says:

    I love the “NFK” at the end, which I assume must stand for Not For Knopf. I want to start peppering my conversations with NFK only I’ll use my initial. “I don’t like this soup, it’s NFD.”

    It was required reading when I was in Junior High. Definitely recommend it.

    Dispels a lot of stupid/ignorant romanticism regarding communism.
