    LITERARY JOURNALSIM

    The following excerpt from George Orwell is a good example of literary journalism.
    Orwell wrote about the colonial regime in Marrakech. His father was a colonial
    officer, so Orwell was confronted with the reality of empire from an early age, and
    that experience is reflected in his literary journalism piece, Marrakech: “It is only
    because of this that the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist
    resorts. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas. But
    where the human beings have brown skins their poverty is simply not noticed. What
    does Morocco mean to a Frenchman? An orange-grove or a job in Government
    service.”
