After 65-years, a copy of George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, "1984," has finally found its way back to the Multnomah County Library in Portland, Oregon. The book was accompanied by a heartfelt note from an 86-year-old man identified only as WP, who felt compelled to return it due to its enduring relevance today.
In the enclosed note, WP expressed his realization that the book's significance has only grown over time, stating, ""After re-reading, I realize that, more than ever, this book should be put back in circulation," He admitted that he had intended to return the book in 1958, as he was about to graduate from Portland State University, but couldn’t so until now. At the age of 86, he sought to clear his conscience and rectify the delay.
