I’ve just read Akala’s Natives and Orwell’s Down and Out, both very good in their own right.
I enjoyed Down and Out in London and Paris, there is something very charming about it. I thought it was an easier read than The Road To Wigan Pier and you can see how the later came to be from reading it. Also, having previously worked as a chef for a good long while it was funny to see very little has changed in almost a century.
I’m halfway through Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall - very good so far. I picked these up this morning for the next month or so. Thanks for the recommendation @EB
Homage to Catalonia is great.
I read Down and Out In Paris and London immediately before reading Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller. Both are written from the perspective of someone impoverished living in Paris and London but they have fairly different perspectives...
