In this intrepid and brilliant memoir, Emma Larkin tells of the year she spent travelling through Burma, using as a compass the life and work of George Orwell, whom many of Burma's underground teahouse intellectuals call simply "the prophet". In stirring, insightful prose, she provides a powerful reckoning with one of the world's least free countries. Finding George Orwell in Burma is a brave and revelatory reconnaissance of modern Burma, one of the world's grimmest and most shuttered dictatorships, where the term "Orwellian" aptly describes the life endured by the country's people. This book has come to be regarded as a classic of reportage and travel and a crucial book for anyone interested in Burma and George Orwell.
This, the first biography to draw on a close study of the new "Complete Works", sheds a new light on this extraordinary literary figure through interviews with family and friends, and research into material in the Orwell archive. It also includes previously unpublished photographs.

Orwell Hughes - 20 years old, active in sports, arts and church - enjoys life as a young man coming of age in 1974’s Lusaka, where his father (James “Bwana” Hughes) is a Canadian diplomat and Orwell attends the University of Zambia. Orwell endears himself to African peers Benjamin Mudenda, Winter Banda, and Cepheus Belo, through interests in African languages, history, justice, and aspirations. Yet, he suffers racism and awkward social relationships with young women that his father and older brother Richard can’t help him solve. Orwell invites Tracy MacDonachie, his former Sunday school teacher and youth leader - who encouraged him as an impressionable lad back home in Canada - to visit him in Zambia, hoping that this older, successful and wiser man can continue to mentor him. Orwell’s sisters Suzanne and Janice Joanne invite Tracy’s sisters Kathleen and Alicia, to visit. The MacDonachies arrive for Easter but stay longer than planned, and are not as remembered; Tracy woos Orwell’s girlfriend Georgina. Several other Canadians join Bwana Hughes’s team, including Karla Bryant, whom Orwell agrees to tutor in English while the university has been closed by a workers’ strike. His hopes revive when he joins Tracy’s boxing clinic.
Set in a dystopian version of present-day America, From Trumerica with Love is the story of Liam and Gemma, two souls determined to find a sliver of freedom amidst a society that thrives on fear and betrayal. In Trumerica, a superstate where truth is subjective and surveillance is omnipresent, Leader for Life Donald Trump and billionaire businessmen obliterate individuality. Through it all, Liam and Gemma plot to assassinate Trump and dream of escaping a country where propaganda trumps free speech, their joy and love challenging the very fabric of a society built on hatred and control. In the 1940s, George Orwell wrote 1984 (also published as Nineteen Eighty-Four) as a warning against totalitarianism. In today’s world, with the rise of technology and the ever-increasing control over our lives by governments and corporations, the warnings of Orwell’s novel are more relevant than ever. Reading Orwell isn’t a prerequisite for From Trumerica with Love, but he did provide its inspiration. In reimagining a chilling dystopia to a hellish version of modern-day America, Logan Emery Emerson evokes Orwell’s rage and sympathy, and above all, his belief in the transformational powers of good storytelling. From Trumerica with Love is a reminder of the evils of unbridled power and a testament to the enduring power of hope.
