The first cutlet is the deepest.

British academic and journalist Aleks Krotoski is retelling George Orwell’s novel “1984″ one word at a time through one photo a day. Today’s photo, day and word 22 — “breast” –  just happens to be from the meat section at Sainsbury’s on Victoria Road, according to Krotoski. This “breast” is meant to refer to where Winston Smith’s chin is nuzzled, but just go with it.

You might argue that this is the long way round to reading a novel, but the combinations of images and words in the stream create a transcendent beauty that is unique to the project. Krotoski explains her rationale for the lifestream project on her blog. Yes she’s aware of the irony of combining lifestreaming and “1984.” We look forward to her rendition of “Animal Farm.”

Where in the world is this meat from?
