Snowball's Chance
''Snowball's Chance,'' is a parody of George Orwell's ''Animal Farm'' written by John Reed, in which Snowball the pig returns to the Manor Farm after many years' absence, to install capitalism — which proves to have its own pitfalls.
== Background ==
Of ''Snowball's Chance'' as a follow-up to Orwell's work, Reed stated: "My intention is to blast Orwell, I’m really doing my best to annihilate him."〔(New York Press - JOHN STRAUSBAUGH )〕
The title raised the ire of Christopher Hitchens.〔 A ''New York Times'' article about a hostile letter sent to the publisher from the Orwell estate, which cited issues of copyright infringement, precipitated a journalistic and online debate about the book at a time when Orwell's legacy was under question, due to a list of "crypto-Communists" he handed over to the British Foreign Office.〔(A Pig Returns to the Farm, Thumbing His Snout at Orwell - New York Times )〕 Marxists and Orwell admirers also objected to the work.〔(Editorial: Kill the beavers! - Telegraph )〕 Hitchens accused Reed of being a "Bin Ladenist."〔(Portland Tribune )〕 As was reported in Australian paper ''The Age'':〔(The Age ); 27 November 2002〕
"() Hamilton (Orwell estate's legal representative ), of London, said: 'If it were a straight parody, I would say 'Good on you.' But this book seems to take rather than give." Reed said: 'I think that Orwell, were he still alive, would far rather be with me in my hovel than sitting in some corporate office preparing lawsuits.'"
