17. Finding George Orwell in Burma by Emma Larkin -- I grabbed this one from the book discussion section at my library. The author, who published this novel under a pseudonym, uses her interests in George Orwell and British architecture as a cover to travel around Burma and observe what life is like for the people living under the military regime. She visits Mandalay, a small village in the Delta, Rangoon, Moulmein, and Katha in order to research her book. In this work, she draws comparisons between George Orwell's career as a policeman in the British colony of Burma, Orwell's novels and short stories, and present day Burma under military dictatorship.
