Burma Sahib (audio book)

This is another recommendation from my personal literary guru, Mary in Alabama.

From the GoodReads description:

Paul Theroux's 2024 Burma Sahib is a fictionalized account of George Orwell's life in British service in Burma in the 1920s, before his career as a writer, when the reluctant colonial police officer still was known only by his actual name of Eric Blair rather than his famous future pseudonym-to-be.

Kind of interesting. Fictional, but, kernels of truth. Narration seems a bit bland initially. Road tripping and a little to monotonic for the highway!

I don't know much about the real George Orwell. I'll see how I feel when I get to the end of it. In any case, here is an interesting review by someone who seems well read on George Orwell and Paul Theroux. Hope I didn't spoil my journey by peeking at this before I finish the book!

Note to self. Paul was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the 1960's in Africa. A different breed than us who served in the 1980s!
