Paul Theroux is a renowned novelist and travel writer known for his focus on politics, history, and travel. In his novel 'Burma Sahib,' he imagines the life of young Eric Blair (the future George Orwell) as he was a novice police officer in colonial Burma. Theroux combines elements familiar to his oeuvre and applies them to Orwell's formative days as a colonial authority, which would inform his anti-colonial, anti-authoritarian work to come. Theroux spoke to the author about the book from his home in Hawaii.
