The Napoleon of Notting Hill
Author: G. K. Chesterton
The Napoleon of Notting Hill is a novel written by G. K. Chesterton in 1904, set in a nearly-unchanged London in 1984. Though the novel deals with the future, it concentrates not on technology nor on totalitarian government but on a government where no one cares what happens, comparable to Fahrenheit 451 in that respect.

This book if more profound than "Gulliver" and "Animal Farm" and as controversal as "Godot." Having survived all the twaddle in this narrative, an academic might surely invent a host of underlying metaphors to justify publication of this book. For a more modern comparison, look to some of the more obscure parodies of "Monty Python." Certainly not for the casual reader.
