20世纪20年代,乔治·奥威尔曾作为大英帝国的警察在缅甸生活了五年。五年后,他突然毫无预兆地返回英国递交辞呈,开始了写作生涯。而缅甸则以各种形式在他的书中出现:《缅甸岁月》《动物农庄》《一九八四》,以及他未完成的作品《吸烟室的故事》......
美国记者艾玛·拉金重访了奥威尔在缅甸工作和生活的地方:曼德勒、渺弥亚、仰光、毛淡棉、杰沙......她试图为一些问题寻找答案:是什么样的经历促使奥威尔放弃了殖民地生活,转而从事写作?又是什么让缅甸这个地方变得如此贫穷和悲惨?拉金复原了奥威尔这段几乎被所有研究者忽略的生活经历,并写出了奥威尔对今日缅甸的精神影响。与此同时,她带着奥威尔的清醒和观察力,刻画了在殖民幽灵与独裁统治的交缠下,缅甸日常生活的矛盾与荒诞,以及人们的恐惧与希望。
