In the summer of 2008, Emma Larkin was one of a handful of visitors who landed in Yangon, the main city of Mayanmar (also known as Burma). In May, the country had been hit by a massive cyclone, yet when she arrived, posing as a tourist, she did not find aid workers or relief supplies or military equipment. Insted, she found the city quiet. And she found it all very disturbing.
Everything Is Broken: A Tale of Catastrophe in Burma (Penguin Press, 2010) tells the story of Larkin's efforts to find out what happened after Cyclone Nargis caused unspeakable destruction in fact, speaking about it is forbiden by the military junta that rules the country.
Her first book, Finding George Orwell in Burma, detailed her search for that outhor's past in a place that has become one of the most Orwellian in the world. In her new book, she writes, "Events happen in Burma, and then they are systematiclly unhappend".
