I teach 'Shooting an Elephant' today by George Orwell. I love 'Homage to Catalonia,' but there are parts of it where he talks about what it was like as a colonial administrator, knowing colonialism was wrong. Itโs a lot like Thompsonโhe was caught up in enforcing it, and it shows how it destroys him as a way to argue against it.
The guest discusses teaching 'Shooting an Elephant' by George Orwell, drawing parallels between the themes of colonialism in the work and the experiences of Hunter S. Thompson.
