Publisher Description

Emma Larkin. Finding George Orwell in Burma. New York: Penguin, 2005. 294 pp. $22.95 Emma Larkin is the pseudonym of an American journalist who has been visiting Burma since the 1990s. It is through her experience of the invisible despotic nature of Burmese power that Larkin revisits Orwell's fictional dystopia Nineteen Eighty-Four and examines the historical and political reality of the contemporary Burmese military regime. Through her analysis, Larkin uncannily translates Orwell's biographical and literary development into a prophetic one.
