This article explores the perceptual vividness that characterizes both the fictional experience of 1984's characters and the sentences with which Orwell artistically renders that experience. I read these features in relation to the development of a set of techniques for renewing the perception of the world's surface in the work of Orwell and the critic Viktor Shklovsky, and I examine the problem that arises as these techniques move between artistic and political realms
