Thanks for the reminder, I haven't read this in years! It's the first piece of writing of his that opened my eyes beyond 1984. If people are looking for other mildly humorous but still serious in the same vein, I would recommend "Down and Out in Paris and London."

His novel Burmese Days is similarly based on his experiences of this time.

Down and Out is my favorite book. His essays were so much better than his fiction, IMO.
