Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a socially critical novel by George Orwell. It is set in 1930s London. The main theme is Gordon Comstock's romantic ambition to defy worship of the money-god and status, and the dismal life that results.

Through the character of Gordon Comstock, Orwell reveals his own disaffection with the society he once himself renounced.

George Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a tragically witty account of the struggle to escape from a materialistic existence.
