| Synopsis: |
The Foundation Pit belongs to a very special category. In this work, the central metaphor for an era - in this case the digging of a hole that will be the foundation for a huge building that will house the newly enfranchised proletariat - is described in precisely the language the confused working class was given by the mass media of the time - beyond surreal, newspeak pushed to its limit. |
