Obey
(2014)Reading Henry Miller and George Orwell in Bangkok
A non fiction book by Christopher G Moore
Obey includes three essays and one short story by Christopher G. Moore. This short collection is a penetrating analysis of the continued influences of Henry Miller and George Orwell work on contemporary literature. The major themes - abuse of power, subservience, and liberty - illustrate Miller and Orwell's works as models for speaking truth to authority.
"Moore's noir thrillers and literary fiction - like Graham Greene, he alternates between 'entertainment' and serious novels - are subtle and compelling evocations of a part of the world rarely seen through our eyes." - Macleans
"Moore is an idealist and a lone warrior who doesn't hesitate to get his hands dirty.... Those who have travelled to Southeast Asia will be captivated by his ability to recreate the atmosphere." - Le Parisien
"If you read only one expat writer for a flavour of Southeast Asia, read Christopher G. Moore." - The Daily Yomiuri
"Christopher G. Moore has long been a big name in crime for his Vincent Calvino books, based on the exploits of an American private eye in Thailand's seedy underbelly." - Jonathan Gibbs, The Independent
"Moore is a rare writer who is able to meticulously dramatize the complex wiring of the human condition and simultaneously reveal the geopolitical undercurrents while maintaining a skillful control of his stories. Moore is a true connoisseur of Southeast Asia, a man of experience beyond the narrow bounds of culture." - Thriller Magazine (Italy)
