Publisher's note

In one of the most intrepid travelogues in recent memory, Emma Larkin tells of the year she spent traveling through Burma, using as a compass the life and work of George Orwell, whom many of Burmaas underground teahouse intellectuals call simply athe Prophet.a In stirring prose, she provides a powerful reckoning with one of the worldas least free countries. "Finding George Orwell in Burma" is a brave and revelatory reconnaissance of modern Burma, one of the worldas grimmest and most shuttered police states, where the term aOrwelliana aptly describes the life endured by the countryas people. BACKCOVER: aA truer picture of authoritarianism than anyone has written since, perhaps, Orwell himself.a
"aMother Jones"
aMournful, meditative, appealingly idiosyncratic . . . an exercise in literary detection but also a political travelogue.a
"aThe New York Times"
aCombining literary criticism with solid field reporting, Larkin] captures the country at its best and, more often, its worst.a
"aSan Francisco Chronicle"
a A] sobering, journalistic memoir . . . A disquieting profile of a country and its people.a
"aNewsweek"
