The Brothel Boy and Other Parables of the Law by Morris
A work of imaginative sympathy that reconstructs George Orwell's life as a Burmese policeman and magistrate, treating his moral dilemmas as a filter through which to pose questions of justice both universal and contemporary. Morris follows each story with an analysis of the legal and moral issues presented.
