Reviews
"Paul Theroux knows the cultural and political landscape of Burma. This riveting read provides a fascinating fictional account of Orwell's police work during the most interesting and least known part of his career, and makes him come alive in the tropical setting." -- Jeffrey Meyers, author of Orwell: Wintry Conscience of a Generation and Orwell: Life and Art, "The fierce rivalry between two siblings comes laden with jealousy, betrayal and an almost mythic lust for vengeance...Theroux is at his masterly best." -- New York Times Book Review on Bad Angel Brothers "[A] deeply unsettling tale of the sibling rivalry from hell....Long known for creating complex, deeply troubled characters, Theroux strikes again here." -- Booklist on Bad Angel Brothers "Theroux (The Mosquito Coast) cranks the nastiness to 11 in this powerful tale of a decades-long sibling rivalry....Theroux plays skillfully on reader sympathies until the bitter end, showing how a man's beliefs can make him turn to violence. The result is searing and memorable." -- Publishers Weekly on Bad Angel Brothers "Theroux draws on his travel writing prowess to follow his protagonist from the Mexican border to the chill of Alaska, from Central Africa to Colombia, uncovering a devastating threat that culminates in the ultimate plan for murder....a chilling psychological novel." -- Honolulu Magazine on Bad Angel Brothers "Theroux has some powerful twists in his hat, and the language and compelling prose with which to offer them into the spotlight." -- New York Journal of Books on Bad Angel Brothers "Paul Theroux knows the cultural and political landscape of Burma. This riveting read provides a fascinating fictional account of Orwell's police work during the most interesting and least known part of his career, and makes him come alive in the tropical setting." -- Jeffrey Meyers, author of Orwell: Wintry Conscience of a Generation and Orwell: Life and Art
Synopsis
"Paul Theroux has exploited this biographical lacuna with great shrewdness and gusto... his fictional account of Blair's life there [Burma] is a valid and entirely credible attempt to add flesh to the skeletal facts we have of this time. [...]this novel is one of his finest, in a long and redoubtable oeuvre." -- New York Times Book Review From the acclaimed author of The Mosquito Coast and The Bad Angel Brothers comes a riveting new novel exploring one of English literature's most beloved and controversial figures--George Orwell--and the early years as an officer in colonial Burma that transformed him from Eric Blair, the British Raj policeman, into Orwell the anticolonial writer. At age nineteen, young Eton graduate Eric Blair set sail for India, dreading the assignment ahead. Along with several other young conscripts, he would be trained for three years as a servant of the British Empire, overseeing the local policemen in Burma. Navigating the social, racial, and class politics of his fellow British at the same time as he learned the local languages and struggled to control his men would prove difficult enough. But doing all of this while grappling with his own self-worth, his sense that he was not cut out for this, is soon overwhelming for the young Blair. Eventually, his clashes with his superiors, and the drama that unfolds in this hot, beautiful land, will change him forever., "Paul Theroux has exploited this biographical lacuna with great shrewdness and gusto... his fictional account of Blair's life there [Burma] is a valid and entirely credible attempt to add flesh to the skeletal facts we have of this time.
